Or could be very old. My grandpa crashed into a parked school bus.

Well those bright yellow school buses with flashing lights and stop signs really come out of nowhere😆 seriously though, I hope nobody was hurt.

A few months after I had started driving I got T Boned by someone in a pickup truck. I was in a 2006 Camaro. Fortunately it wasn't a high speed impact. I was still young and hot headed. After the impact, I got out of my car screaming at the top of my lungs just furious and getting ready to rip this person a new one. Upon getting it this person's truck I see that it's a very elderly man. I felt absolutely terrible. His excuse for running the stop sign was because he was hungry and just wanted breakfast.

06 Camaro? What? There’s a six year gap when there were no Camaros, 2003-09.

u/4_string_bean 7d ago

I lied. It was 01 then. I just couldn't remember exactly what year it was. Hell, maybe even could have been a 2000. I just remember it was my first manual transmission car.

u/BourbonCoug 8d ago

No, no, no, the school bus hit him, and he probably always reminded you that's how it went down. /s

I was in a car once that stopped in a parking lot bc a car very slowly pulled out in front of us. The driver was so old he looked like a corpse. He hit a car angling to get in the incoming lane, then pulled forward and hit us. The driver was having a "wtf do I do" moment bc it was seriously a 2mph collision. So I got out and checked for damage and as I was doing that he just very slowly pulled around (no look of recognition of anything that happened on his face) and turned the wrong way onto a 40mph, divided road. Off he went, to his next adventure.

Or flatout stupid. Some guy i went to school with managed to ride his bike into a parked truck. I believe semitrailer truck is the correct wording for the really big ones?

u/xXMuschi_DestroyerXx 8d ago

How do you not hear the siren though? Im guessing just wasted drunk

2

u/Mharbles 7d ago

Or worse, one of those people that don't move for emergency vehicles and act like they don't exist. Super rare but incredibly insufferable.

u/roaringsanity 7d ago

I mean their ear should still be working even if they were looking at their phone lol
those blaring siren gotta at least made you pay you attention back to the road, just bad driver I concur.

u/No-Neat2520 8d ago

$100 says it was an old person. It's terrifying these people on the road.

22

u/EditEd2x 8d ago

They were going too fast and didn’t notice they had nowhere to go once the other cars pulled over. Either they panicked or they were not paying attention but I don’t know how you miss those sirens when they’re that close.

33

u/NootyNL 8d ago

They could have easily hit the brakes and stop in time.

2

u/EditEd2x 8d ago

Yea that’s the panicked or weren’t paying attention.

u/Hyde2467 8d ago

either on their phone or there was nothing going on in that excuse of a skull

u/EditEd2x 8d ago

Both excellent deductions.

u/The_JSQuareD 8d ago

What are we deducting?

u/OldManJim374 7d ago

My allowance from your paycheck

u/uptokesforall 7d ago

That is NOT too fast to stop in time. It may be too fast for their distracted driving or drunk nonresponsive legs. They could have stopped in 3 seconds Easily leaving space for the cruiser to move around them

u/Quick_Ad_7500 8d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if the driver was an older person. Lots of elderly drivers on the road who definitely should not be driving.

u/jumbo_rawdog 8d ago

That happened within 6 seconds of this cop suddenly switching lanes into oncoming traffic. Did the cop forget to turn his flashing lights on?

58

u/Khamvom 8d ago

Cop had lights and sirens on.

Person that hit him had like 3 business days to react. Guarantee they were distracted and looking at their phone.

23

u/WellEvan 8d ago

Did you see how the cop was not moving and the car was still moving, what the f*** were they looking at it if they're not looking at the road

21

u/Euphoric_Key_1929 8d ago

Good lord, if six seconds is too narrow of a window for you to react, please don’t ever drive.

14

u/SincereGoat 8d ago

Six seconds is a lot of time.... Count out 6 full seconds on a clock ... If your reaction to something is more than one full second, you have severe cognitive issues.

32

u/JamienTheDemon 8d ago

You can literally hear the sirens, even if he did forget the flashing lights those are kind of a giveaway

u/Mundane-World-1142 7d ago

At those speeds 6 seconds is a lifetime. If you can’t react in that time burn your license.
