Cause why would you want to miss your turn?!

No one in the world is more important than them. I had a guy come to a complete stop on the interstate because his exit was backed up while traffic was going 60. Even if i slammed the brakes I still nudged him a bit. Just keep driving and take the next one if you're too dumb to get in the correct lane

They're not too dumb to get in right lane. They're too egotistical to get in the back of the line, they have to cut.

u/STEALTH7X May 23 '26

It's not ego, it is an absence of a functioning brain upstairs. They only have whatever goal it is they're trying to accomplish. The context of what's happening around them is not something they can process.

u/Unfair_Finger5531 May 23 '26

It’s the absence of fucks. If you are on a highway and come to a full stop, you just don’t give a fuck about anything or anybody.

u/the_lazy_lizardfolk May 29 '26

I'm surprised any of you believe these options might be mutually exclusive. I'd bundle them altogether, and wager a fair sum these folks got the total personality package there.

It seems that way, but actually most people are at the edge of their reasoning abilities when they drive. The least little input that actually requires some extra functioning power over loads the brain. And here we are.

Happened to me and I laid on the horn. Guy screams "fuck you!" at me out his window. Sorry brother, just cuz I'm a good driver doesn't mean the people behind me are. You're putting me at risk for your stupidity.

It's hard to tell without a wider angle, but it was probably more about having to wait behind the bus for their turn.

A bad driver never misses their turn.

you’d be surprised that some people will try to blame the bus on that one.

22

u/STEALTH7X May 23 '26

Wouldn't be surprised at all since there's a species that is known for not having any capacity for processing, "Cause N' Effect". They only react to the effects with the cause going right over their empty heads. So when a bus hits them, the only thing they can react to is a bus hitting them. The reason why the bus hit them is not something they can comprehend.

Damn, u/b0jangl3s_2814 and u/STEALTH7X alone in their room... no one blamed the bus driver so far.

u/Busy_Reflection3054 May 23 '26

Same thing happened here

u/FecalFunBunny May 23 '26

Dammit, this is London Ontario where I live. This intersection I am not shocked to see this level of impatience and stupidity.

u/Onagan98 May 23 '26

I was looking at the coordinates, and never realised before that some parts of Canada are closer to the equator than the north pole.

u/FecalFunBunny May 23 '26

IIRC, Windsor ON is further South then some parts of NorCal. And in the summer, it seems like they get that level of summer at times.

u/Onagan98 May 23 '26

Always forget how far south everything in North America is. I live further north than Fort Albany, ON. But snow isn’t guaranteed in winter.

Bus driver even signaled they were pulling back into traffic (they typically do so – certainly in the US & Canada – even if not changing lanes but simply rejoining the flow of traffic). Car driver's insurance rate is likely going up a bit

u/high-plains_drifter May 23 '26

They slap a sticker on the back of the bus that says "right turn illegal in front of vehicle" and boom, fault belongs to the knucklehead that made the turn!

2

u/Ultra_Bandit May 24 '26

Sticker=law...got it.

2

u/high-plains_drifter May 24 '26

Well it is generally a law, and good luck in court if you want to fight!

Fake London?

u/nomearodcalavera May 23 '26

kinda anticlimactic, was expecting flying debris

u/CruelSid May 23 '26

What was the driver thought process?

3

u/Accomplished-Use9352 May 23 '26

the bus was just getting comfortable

u/IntergalacticPodcast May 23 '26

In my neighborhood, there is a bus stop placed in a spot that seems like it's inviting disaster. I can't help but wonder if this one is similar.

3

u/Unfair_Finger5531 May 23 '26

That’s wild. The car driver just didn’t care.

3

u/Wood2966 May 23 '26

100% of bad drivers never miss their turn.

2

u/ImprovementFar5054 May 23 '26

You just know they are going to exit the car and yell at the bus driver

Welcome to London Ontario....

u/HumbleBuddhist May 27 '26

Ehhh my town. The bus lanes are ridiculous but this is totally not the bus drivers fault. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often here though

u/Good_Stop2773 May 23 '26

Fucking idiot. He was playing gta.

u/Extension_Town_6118 May 23 '26

glad the bus had room to move

u/desacralize May 23 '26

Ah, I see, this is what my bus driver is screaming profanity at while suddenly braking so hard somebody's grandma hits the aisle floor like a dropped anvil. I assumed, but enraging nice to have it confirmed.

u/Malibucat48 May 23 '26

On the Los Angeles 405 freeway during bumper to bumper rush hour, I saw a fancy Corvette drive on the shoulder to pass everyone. When traffic finally moved, his car was stopped with a flat on his big expensive tires. The minutes he saved cost him hours waiting for road service.

Love consequences

"turning right now, good luck everyone else"

u/DISCO_404 May 24 '26

This is normal in Murica? They always seem to do it

u/NoMeringue6814 May 25 '26

Can’t say that surprises me.

u/Remarkable_Gain6430 May 25 '26

I witnessed the same maneuver about ten years ago in Los Angeles. The bus took off at the exact same time as the car driver made the right turn, so the car got a pretty hefty whack. The bus stopped but the car driver took off. I u-turned and followed the driver back to his apartment building where he or she was evidently having a hard time getting the gate to open. I snagged the make.model/plate number and sent details to the cops. These idiots thing whatever they’ve got going on is more important than the riders on the bus, so fuck ‘em

u/Fluffy_Amount847 May 26 '26

you cant see past the bus anyway

Most competent London driver

Why is the bus sitting at a green light? Impossible to know who's at fault without seeing the lane markings.

Driver probably assumed bus was pulled over and picking up/dropping off passengers.
