I seriously wonder how some people got their license sometimes. My mom is a crossing guard and once was waving her stop signs at someone who wasn’t stopping. The woman got out and said “I didn’t know what you wanted me to do!” 🤦♂️
@@HP12_the bus's stop sign was out. The car wasn't supposed to drive past the bus like that in the first place regardless of the honk or not. That's a hefty fine right there for the idiotic driver.
This really hits close to home because my cousin was actually hit by a car last year getting off a bus as a senior a few weeks before graduation. She was in a coma for 2 months. She's getting stronger now, but it's just crazy how some people drive and don't bother to pay attention to their surroundings. Edit: something I forgot to add is that she only had a 10% chance of waking up from the coma. Doctors called her "the miracle patient."
Idiots these days need to have their license revoked permanently that’s for sure. I’m glad your cousin is doing well for now, tell her I’m happy she’s doing ok if you can even if I’m just a stranger.
There’s a reason why school signs/speed limits exist. It’s because people are particularly neglectful in school zones. Parents should always be hyper vigilant and walk their children across all roads
Homie needs a $1,000 fine, revoked license and a court date so the judge can tac on other charges. Freaking ridiculous man, the audacity this guy had to honk.
At least we know what his car look like a blue car possibly from Toyota or Kia probably from 2010 - 2018 but dang it she had to censor the license plate guess we never know this is our evidence we have
@@ozymandias9549 That does suck and I know it makes a big difference if the police actually see them do it. In Pennsylvania if they SEE you do it your license gets suspended for 6 months starting immediately. They take you license
Oh my God, this reminded me of my little cousin getting ran over trying to cross the street for ice cream. I had always seen him as a little brother and still do so when I witnessed the whole thing taking place, him crossing and the car slamming his little body to the ground I was so shocked I couldn't react, I saw his body get covered under the car that hit him. It was the most terrible thing I had to see as a kid and the second worst was to see my aunt crying for her child. I recently came to learn she was supposed to have another kid before my cousin but sadly had a miscarriage and now when I think back to her suffering It breaks me much more to think she could have lost another child. The woes of a mother are otherworldly, they have a connection to their children us men cannot have and so they hurt more for a loss. Edit:yes my cousin survived the accident. And to that religious dude in the comments, people like you are the reason I evaded religion. You guys make it so unbelievably difficult to care about it, honest to god 😂 (saw what I did there)
I remember the same thing almost happened to me. My whole family was getting back home and I got out of the car to cross to my mom and dad but a red truck sped right in front of my face right as I stopped in place. My mom began crying and hugging me as it left. Stuff like this is so scary for parents to deal with. You never know what could happen.
As someone who has 20 years driving experience and a younger sister who just got her license, I always remind her to never assume she's safe because she knows how to drive, but to remember that there are a lot of idiots on the road who don't belong in a car.
There needs to be stiffer penalties for operating without a license/insurance … they pretty much just catch and release and when they go to court it gets dropped to a traffic ticket or they just don’t care
@@jayasmrmore3687 No, that's not true. It doesn't matter if the school bus driver is waving you on. Also, it never matters if a driver is waving you on. You should abide by the driving laws anyway because more accidents occur when drivers are waving people on than if you obey the law. Also, it varies by state if there is median whether you have to stop or not. In Texas, you always have to stop on both sides of the road, whether there is a median, or multiple lanes of traffic between you and the bus.
@@cherieodell9048 the bus driver is only going to tell you to go if they have a reason. They are the ones who have the authority to stop traffic therefore they can permit you to continue (rarely happens) and then if they wave you on you are not breaking the law in any way
in oregon my son was killed at his bus stop while waiting on the sidewalk, and a few months later, another kid died the same way a few towns over, not enough is done for school bus stops. i’m very, very happy your girl is alright. 😊
my dad got hit by a car when he was younger he did survive but hid body was literally crushed in the road. he had to be airlifted to a hospital, he had a rock half the size of an eye ball stuck in his eye for 1 month before it fell out, he bad a broken arm, leg, his shoulder dislocated, and he knee popped out, he still had troubles today with walking, his back hurts constantly, he gets nauseous easily, and his bones hurt all of the time. edit: for anybody who wants to see my dad as of now i just made a short with him its my recent! hes doing much better since it was 30 years ago!
I once pulled up behind a bus that had pulled over somewhat to the side of the road. No red sign out, no lights flashing, I sat there for a minute to make sure there weren't any kids getting off. It seemed like they were just sitting there, so I drove around the bus and soon as I did they laid down their horn (then turned on the sign) and screamed at me along with the parent they were talking to. I got a running a red light ticket in the mail about a month later, little did they know I had a dash cam! Sent the video to the admin and the bus driver was reprimanded and apologized. This person however gave no fks and shouldn't have their license.
As someone who gets off on the highway bc I live on one, yeah- most cars don’t stop. If I got off on the opposite side of the road, I’d probably be dead by now
I am a security guard, and next to my guard post a school bus regularly drops off a kid each day. Also near that area is a police station. The amount of times i have seen someone speed passed the stop sign and then have a police officer follow after them is unreal.
The most protected bus stop in the USA, on God. Bullies and monkeys on wheels be damned! Man, wish I had that too when I was in HS just a few years back haha
This was a similar story that happened to my cousin. He was riding his bike with this friends on the road and he stopped to check 1 of the sides and right as he was going to check the other, a truck popped out of no where and swung the tire of his bike and slid him underneath the car crushing his teeth since he fell down to the floor on his face. He immediately fainted and was rushed to the hospital. My grandpa was there and he screamed at the driver furiously as my uncle carried my cousin in his arms. Luckily, he survived and also got some braces and his teeth where fixed. He broke his arm but it did heal after a month. Thank god he was alright.
My friend ran across the road without looking and ended up getting hit by a large lorry. She was only 12 at the time and really petite but survived. She was in hospital for a few weeks and then came to school a very different person. Stay safe everybody
Ive had this happen to me before, just going across a carpool line in school. (My middle school has morning/afternoon tutorials, went for afternoon ones) I looked both ways, no cars coming, all clear. I stepped just one foot out then immediately stepped back. The MPH limit was around 5-10 and this car was probably going around 20-30, they had no reason to and they could’ve gone slow. I was honestly terrified after that 💀
I was crossing a busy street in a crosswalk that had a light several feet ahead. Both lanes heading to the light were stopped and that was the section I still had to cross. I just had a feeling and went cautiously, and good thing I did, cuz a younger lady in an SUV jumped out of line in the further right lane and sped down the shoulder just so she could get to the light that much faster. Had I not hesitated, she probably would have hit me. I know she saw me cuz she made a wide berth to get around, just so she could stop at the light. I thought, "You dummy!" Sometimes you wish you could reach right over and slap some people upside the head. I wouldn't say "slap some sense into them" cuz it wouldn't work. You'd just get tired and wear your hand out! Good grief!!!
This reminds me of when me and my grandpa were crossing the sidewalk, I saw a car coming and my grandpa didn’t notice so I used my arm to hold him back right when the car passed and almost hit us. I looked at the driver and they weren’t even paying attention to their surroundings. My grandpa yelled at the driver but they were too far away. I was just glad that we didn’t get hit.
Same thing happened to my mom and I. The car grazed my mom’s leg while she held me back. I was fortunate that she had fast reflexes. It would also helped that we were walking in front of a hospital in case we did get hit 😂
Bruh same happened to me I legit was on the verge of getting hit by a car on the road around 2 am my car broke down and me and my friend had to walk to a nearby 711 and while we were walking some car was legit going 60-80 mph and was so close to me that even my friend had to kind of slightly yank me to da side and said “Bruh that car almost hit you Wtf” to this day im still great full of that friend also there’s been like 3 times when I saved him because he tried to do stuff to himself
I was almost run over this past week. A bunch of kids who is eating Carl's Jr while driving, was speeding and turn left on a red light while I was walking down. They didn't bother to pay attention at all and if I didn't see them and ran fast, I would have been run over. I hope that a cop seen them speeding that day and stopped them while laying the full extent of the law on their asses. I could have seriously died or hurt that day.
I'm actually glad that she said stop and she stop like omg theses ppl needa be careful sometimes when a child is getting off a school bus bc she almost got hit and the person who did that should be in jail now abt to hit that poor little girl
This is why I always stood in the road when my kids were getting on and off the bus where I worked. Had someone try to pass the bus one time and I was not having it.
Was she though? I think if she wasn't distracted with filming she would have been alert much sooner. Shame on the driver. But shame on mom too. Her priority should be getting the child across safely, not filming a cute video.
Honestly, she was recording memories for her babies and protecting her other two babies while also saving the other little munchkin 😭❤️ motherly duties what an angel though you could hear the fear in her voice
@@strideredz You have to be joking right. I understand part of what you mean with the unassisted part but recording the thing is totally normal and understandable. It’s a memory she wants to have. It’s almost 95% of the drivers fault for not looking ahead on a clearly empty road except for a giant yellow bus with a flashing stop sign.
i used to stand in the on-coming lane whenever the bus stopped so that cars could see a "larger" person. did it for years, and got a lot of cars to stop (it was a major highway). and then i would get in my car and drive to work. many years later, the mom of several of the children at the stop told me how much she appreciated what i had done. i just thought it was a little thing that i could do, but her comment touched me. thank you to those people who try to keep little people safe.
People that do this should have there licenses taken away and never ever ever given the chance to get there license back. Also need to be charged with reckless endangerment to people and children.
My dog got ran over in front of me like that. It's absolutely horrific what a body looks like after going under two axles and scraped/dragged against asphalt. I can still see, and hear that moment in my mind.
It will be 8 years this next April. Took me a few years to even talk to anyone about it without falling apart. The door to my truck was cracked before I walked across a street. It was all my fault, she was just trying to get back to me.
@@CelticVictory that is why ill tepeat myself the mom is lazy you cant trust crazy people like that driver!! Were not goin to change those kind of dtivers that is why we need to change the way we protect ourselfs and kids from stupid idiots like him!!!!
Yes she had two other kids with her ok,so you carry one grab the others hand and cross the street to get the third kid WHY?!!??? BECAUSE YOU CANT TRUST IDIOTS LIKE THAT DRIVER
This needs to stop. About 1 year ago I was driving on a 4-lane road with 2 lanes going in each direction. A school bus on the other side brings out the flashing red (8-way) stop lights. As a law-abiding citizen, I was THE ONLY person to stop as I was in the left lane going the other direction. People behind me got pissed and started honking for me to move, but I didn't because I knew it was wrong and the guy behind me kept yelling "GOOO" and kept flipping me off. People on the other side going in the other direction didn't stop either (Except the people actually behind the bus that were following it). Even after I kept flashing my brights at them and horning a few times for them to stop as a child began to cross, they didn't even SLOW DOWN till they saw the child. I hope the guy behind me and everyone else I saw get their license taken away someday. They don't deserve to drive. Driving is a PRIVILEGE, not a right, and if you accidentally kill a child for being stupid and not stopping then you lose that privilege.
No joke, her subconscious ability to both react to a life and death situation as best as she could while capturing the exact moment it happened filming vertically, let alone holding up the phone, is beyond impressive. You woulda thought this was staged!
It was her second day of kindergarten, you could tell the mom was terrified, and the man was charged with reckless driving. Get your facts straight before commenting something like this.
I have experienced almost getting hit my a truck when I was getting off the bus. It really is traumatizing. And the thing is the truck drove on grass which was where the bus door was at just to get passed the bus. Luckily I stopped on time.
I had an uncle who was a school bus driver and a car didn’t stop and a poor little boy that just got of the bus was hit and killed. My uncle was never the same after he witnessed that.
As a mother this upset me. I’m so glad in my area kids are not allowed to cross the street when getting off the school bus. You either stand on the same side of the street where your child is getting off or you wait for the bus to come back around to the side your standing on.
This same exact thing happened to me a few years back, except it was a MUCH closer call that very much could’ve ended with me in the hospital at best, 6 foot under at worse. I had gotten off the school bus AFTER it had reversed and stopped on a road that splits off of mine as per usual at the time. Little bit of context as to why the bus had reversed onto the road that splits off of the one I live on is that with both roads being dead ends, that point of divergence is the only spot where a normal sized school bus can turn around. Anywho, as per North Carolina state law, I always walk on the left side of the road, which from the direction I was walking is also the side of the road my house is on. Anyways, by that time, I had walked down the road a little bit down the hill we were on to the last curve before my road turns into gravel. Lo and behold, some blond woman with sunglasses in either a Honda or Hyundai; I can NEVER tell the difference between those two companies’ vehicles via their logos; SUV of the same basic design of, say, a Ford Escape, had decided to do what the driver of the car in this video did, and ignored the bus’ stop sign and little extending arm that was poking out into the right lane. I was crossing the road at this point, and I’m being right-hand-on-Bible-and-left-hand-in-the-air-with-GOD-as-my-witness serious when I say that woman’s vehicle and I didn’t have a yard, 3ft, between us. I honestly think if I had reached out, I could’ve had my hand taken off, or something, by it. What strikes me the most is the woman didn’t seem to have even the SLIGHTEST hint of panic or “OH BOLLOCKS I’M ABOUT TO HIT A TEENAGER WITH MY VEHICLE” written on her face. She was completely blank faced, with her eyes forward. Granted, she had ignored the bus’ little arm thing and stop sign being out and lights flashing, so I really shouldn’t be all to surprised that she didn’t seem to care that she came within a yard of either seriously injuring or killing a high schooler. One thing’s for sure, her vehicle and face were BURNT into my memory, and I seriously doubt I’ll ever easily forget them, if at all. After that whole incident, which the bus driver had fully witnessed because I wasn’t really that far away from the bus, never let me off the bus after it reversed, and always let me off directly BEFORE he reversed the bus, and he always made sure to check behind the bus to make sure it was safe for me to cross over to the left side immediately after getting off.
Thanks for sharing your story with us dude. I felt uncomfortable just reading this story, and you most likely must feel horrified crossing anywhere. So happy you made it out safe with out injury.
Daniel V Police were already informed of the situation, by the mother, who also gave them the plate number. So, to avoid this person being potentially harassed, they blurred the plate
Though, above all, drivers should stop to allow children to safely cross the street. Yes, children should be taught to look both ways too, but one is clearly a law that is punished if not obeyed.
This reminded of when I used to take the bus in middle school. I remember there were a few times where the bus driver would stop and open the door, my schoolmates and I would start heading toward the bus door, then suddenly the bus driver would close it. I’d get confused and then suddenly she would honk for a while. Then I would realize she was honking at a car driving by. I also remember she would ask if any of us caught the license plate, which unfortunately we never did. But thinking about it now, she was a good bus driver. I wish I could thank her, but that was many years ago now and I don’t know her name.
People just don’t care anymore. It doesn’t matter what the generation is or the race people overall just don’t care and want what’s best for them. It’s selfish and I wish I didn’t need to live with pricks like that.
I live on a major highway in my state, and both my older sister and I had close calls every year we rode the bus. A car rolled over once into the ditch across our house because they slammed their brakes (im 35 so this was an old car. ) trying to avoid my sister. Traumatizing shit. I definitely know most people should not have a license.
This was so heart stopping that poor mom what she must have felt at that second. Thank God her baby girl didn’t run to her like I see lots of kids do and it’s not their fault. Adults should be well aware of their surroundings. No excuse. Yes parents teach kids to look, but sometimes it’s so fast. Pay attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jayasmrmore3687 An emergency vehicle in code lets you know it's coming. The bus driver thus has plenty of time to retract the arm, which they should do anyway to let the kids know they can't cross. Kids aren't supposed to get on the bus until that arm is fully deployed.
I am a bus driver and I think there should be cameras that can snap a picture of your license plate when you do this and you end up getting a big ticket in your mailbox! After the 1st violation you get your license suspended. This is horrible and it happens all the time. People don't care and they starting not to respect those flashing red lights!😡😡
😡 who ever is in that car should immediately have their license taken away cause they are a danger to other drivers/pedestrians. Put the person behind bars for nearly causing injury or killing that kid.
But in the bus i go to, the child could be living at any side of the street. More actually. If a vehicle has to stay on one side of the road, facing a certain way, they'd have to.
As a father I'm wondering why the camera 📷 wasn't dropped as she ran to save her child. Oh, yeah she didn't run or stop filming. Imagine if her daughter was hit and killed and she stood there and just filmed it.
She had her other children with her who properly follows her into the road if she did, what she gonna do, run in front of a speeding car and get hit, she was trying I get memories, do you have kids because you don't need any,, y'all are so dumb
First of all whatever side ur Childs bus comes on, u need to be standing right there. Not across the street, not up the street u need to be right there in front of the door when it opens, hope for the best but prepare for anything cus shits a mess today. With that being said the driver needs to be arrested. Idc if they were running late to school, work, picking their kids up, they have zero reason to be trying to race the bus like that. U see the stop sign u wait
That was close. That driver almost hit the little girl. That mom did a great job warning her to get back and avoided her from getting hurt by a incoming vehicle.
That person driving the car whoever they were was a real jerk! They should have their driver's license taken away they almost hit an innocent child. They ought to be ashamed of themselves! Shame on them! Good at the bus driver for honking at that jerk!
Person driving that car has a evil heart that’s for sure they didnt even try slowing down even though they could clearly see the little girl they would rather beep and scare her.
