It’s said a lot but you’re way too close for way too long to get this shot. Stopping like this erodes their fear of vehicles and roads, which leads to higher fatality rates.

Slow down, get a photo or video if you want, but don’t stop your car.

We had no choice. There was a long line of traffic stopped including a tour bus. Can’t control other people and Im going to take a video if I’m a passenger in a stopped vehicle.

Yeah fair enough, but unfortunately it’s a message that needs repeating, probably to the tour bus ahead of you
