I'm not saying lets make rules street by street. But a simple common sense rule of "If there is no housing or children standing on one side of the road you can pass on that side."

People forget there was an era of time when you didn't HAVE to yield to the school bus if it was on the opposite side of the road. Our super protective society is really just annoying more than anything.

I don't get it - why the sidewalk? If you want to break the law, just drive past the bus. This reminds me of those dipshits that, to go through a red light, take a right turn, drive over the line, then take another right turn. Like that's any less illegal than just running the right light to begin with.

You can't drive by the bus.
All of the buses now come equipped with Camera's that are armed as soon as the stop sign comes out. So when you drive by the bus it photographs your plates. At the end of each day the police download the information from the camera's and send out tickets.
In the state of NJ I Believe it's an 8 point ticket to do this (which is 1 or 2 points away from basically having your license suspended.)
This person unless she can pay the $500 moving violation is now facing having (upwards of) at least $8,000/yr in insurance. I know this because a family member has 8 or 9 points and at that point nobody will insure you so you have to buy insurance through the state. So hopefully she won't lose her home or apartment or job if she can't afford insurance anymore.
I down-voted this video because there is no justice in it. It's ridiculous that you can't pass this bus when clearly the child is not living on that side of the street (no homes). The fact that you would have to sit at that bus and wait for 5 minutes every morning is ludicrous.

If you don't like sitting behind the bus, then you take a different street. Not make the system more complicated by saying "on this street you can pass the bus, but on this street you can't". Now that would be ludicrous.

Reminds me of when some stupid fuck ran a stop sign and totaled my car. That truck could have waited five seconds, and everything would have been fine. That dude on the ground probably didn't fully realize what just happened either. I'm sure when he woke up the next day though, he realized how lucky he was to be alive.

How I can tell you never commuted by bicycle,
"I used to commute by bike, in London, and NO, he didn't deserve it. It also makes it potentially worse for the next bike the driver encounters. Until cyclists stop weaving, ignoring stop signs/lights, using pavements and, my biggest gripe, travelling 2 or 3 abreast, they will get little sympathy. And yes, I did some of those things but I learned, the hard way, not to."
UNTIL cyclists stop "using pavements" they will get little sympathy. Such a car person statement.

Not sure why you focus on semantics, that change nothing regarding my comment. However, you are obviously confused, so let me explain as simply as i can. I used the Phrase "until cyclists stop" because, and I know you may find it strange my friend, that's exactly what I meant. And I used the word pavement because I live in England. Go back to you tube to troll, here we try and make comments that are relevant.

Um, dude, "pavement" is English for "sidewalk".

I try to keep an eye out for motorcycles, bikes, and cars. And there are people out there who just refuse to make it easy to see them in any one of those.

Cars who drive in blind spots for miles and miles and don't react when you signal your intentions for a good 30 seconds prior to actually doing what you are signalling. You know they are there, you are trying not to hit them and they are intentionally ignoring you or blocking you. These are usually aggressive drivers whose actions usually chain react right down the line of the cars and everyone gets the "fuck this guy" attitude for the next 20 minutes down the road.

Motorcycles who drive in blind spots, drive between two tall vehicles as they cross 2 lanes of traffic in a single move with no pause to check if the second lane is actually clear. Driving in the safety lanes or emergency lanes to pass traffic and merge in and out at will. Or do the "back and forth" while maintaining their lanes, so it looks like they are in a perpetual state of not being able to decide if they want to merge in the right or left lane and just pissing everyone off.

Bikes who go from sidewalk to road and back again, who rarely stop at stop signs....never use arm signals to show they are changing lanes. Go significantly below the speed of the rest of traffic and make it impossible to pass them safely. You'll see these guys holding up 15+ cars behind them doing 15-20 below the speed limit. I mean I don't expect them to perform like machines, but stop in a driveway or take a different route instead of holding up a huge line of cars over and over. No one would tolerate a car doing this for as long as the biker's get away with it around here.

And hell there's this lady in the neighborhood who jogs on the roads, despite there being a public park she's running around on her jog and her also running around a residential neighborhood with sidewalks throughout but she runs on the no sidewalk streets that have waaaaay more vehicle traffic than either the park or that neighborhood. The thinking is that she does it because she wants people to see her running, which is just another form of being fucking annoying. It's especially bad because the road has a really up and down section in it and you could literally come over the hill and run her ass over and there is nowhere to swerve due to deep ditches, mailboxes and huge trees on both sides. Or hit a car head on as they go out around her right before the hill.

It's just a general theme of everyone thinking their business/action is more important than yours. And generally I'll take it in stride for a bit, or let people fuck up some. But eventually you have to be an asshole back or other people start to do it too. A big example of this is when a two lane road merges down to one due to construction........you know it's there. Most everyone else who drives this path knows too. Except most of them stay in the lane that's going to merge in and drive just as far as they can down it and merge in at the last second....making everyone who merged over like they should wait......and wait......and wait. Because more people drive up and merge. Eventually those people trying to merge are blocked unless they can shove their vehicle in the spaces and people are unwilling to take damage to their vehicles to stop them...but it cuts down on the rest of the assholes who keep doing it because it makes that lane slower again by restricting people's merging ability by being an asshole to them.

And, in this video. Guy in silver car on right was an asshole...totally crowding the car before he crowded the bicycle. So......bicycle guy was probably in the right doing what he did.

How many of you who are saying the car driver didn't deserve that actually commute to work daily by bike? None of you? Thought so!

When it stopped him.
