Wetten Das: Turn a bus around on a narrow bridge in 3 mins

submitted by oxdottir

Wetten Das: The bet was that this bus driver could turn a HUGE bus around on a narrow bridge over rushing water in 3 minutes, and he does it. It's quite amazing, and there is no way on earth I would have been willing to sit on the bus while it happened. It's in German, but you will have no trouble figuring out what's going on, and the shots of the wheels hanging off the bridge and such are all well done.

I once had to turn a 40-ft long tour bus around in a similar amount of space... Minus the part of it being on a bridge. (I was on a one-lane back country road with a huge ditch on one side and a fence on the other.) I'm impressed at the 3-minute time - I think it took me about 5 minutes or so.

Those buses can be remarkably maneoverable when needed. In Ohio the commercial drivers license test consists mostly of tests making you drive backwards, so you learn very quickly how large your vehicle is and exactly what you can make it do. (That, and groups tend to want you to drive into places that buses were Not Meant to Go.)
