Don't swerve. Whether you have already screwed up in the choice of speed and following distance, or it's just big old bad luck when they come skittering across from someplace else in front of you. Just hit it, and hold the road. When have we seen a coach off in the weeds and someone on board not hurt? Driving a coach full of folks is much the same as carrying a gun, if you can't stomach what you might have to do some day, best not participate. Stay on the road. happy coaching! buswarrior | ||

swerving is bad, me thinks the odds are too great of the bus ending up on it's side. But hitting head on seriously endangers the driver's legs. Im thinking the best bet would probably be to set the co-pilot seat back out of the crumple zone and then GENTLY turn a LITTLE to take the impact on the passenger front side...... | ||

Most bus accidents we see, once off the road, the bus topples over and makes a big mess. This was really a lucky landing. |
