bloody stupid boy,i feel for thew bus driver, due to the kids stupidity, what if the kid had of died the bus driver would of been devastated.
i was a bus driver in london and whilst letting on passengers at tooting junction, it was really busy i noticed a pair of legs disapeer under the bus so i turned it off and went to look what was happening and a woman was laid under the bus so the wheels would of run over her from toe to head,
she would of died but could you emagine how i would of felt for the rest of my life knowing id killed someone.
just so she could kill herself ???

Having been a bus driver and having been involved in a fatal pedestrian accident with a young female teenager through no fault of my own I find that clip disturbing, BUT I do believe things like that should be shown, the Tufty club had its time, only shock tactics work these days.
-
I have watched it a few times now - and what gets me is the lack of surprise, and reaction in the other kids - no running to see what hapened - helping etc..
Plus you can imagine the conversation at his hospital bed
doctor / police "so what happened"
kid "well i wuz mindin me own biznes using the crossin when he came fru on red and hit me - can I claim?........"
we have a similar set up close to us - bus lane only with railings along it, and have had 5 fatals in 3 years through 'teens' trying to save the 100 yard walk to the crossing.

What a moron! :roll: I know that may sound callous, but I'm not that surprised. Another prime example of the stupidity of some people. I wonder if he ever thought why the railings were there?
My sympathlies with the bus driver.

I'm with Discowoman - amazing that nobody seemed that bothered about some kid being run over by a bus, for quite some time!
-
Stupid kid, I bet now there will be a full investigation why he could do that, without being stopped. Im sure the stupid boys family will claim, even though it was his own fault.
Stupid boy

stupid lad lucky the busdriver never lost control hitting anyone else.

Make the railings 10 foot high & electrify them
Still, if the kids are dumb enough, removing them from the Human Gene Pool might help ensure our survival as a species

Town planners should take note of one simple fact .
the shortest distance between A and B is a straight line .
If the path came out at the crossing not the railings he wouldn't have jumped them..but then again he would have just run straight across :roll:
I think the title of this post should be stupid boy , lucky driver...

We have a saying at work, which gets used when some numpty has managed to bypass all the safety guards on the lettuce rigs & got thier hands trapped, or fallen off the side of the rig into the field, or stabbed one of the other workers with a lettuce cutting knife or rolled a minibus & wiped out three gardens ...."You can't stop stupid people doing stupid things" :lol:
