there's a guy on the xd forums that said water drips from the ceiling and freezes on the road. he also said people don't take the warnings posted.

Damn, that's scary!

Notice when cars change lanes drivers depress gas pedal and rear of the car looses traction.

They have buses that are almost twice as long overthere with that accordion middle.


Yep, we have them also. Pretty cool to ride in that accordion, LOL

how would you like to be on that bus???

what was causing those accidents? People just suddenly take a right turn into the wall?




There probly wasn't anyone on that bus. It looked like it was unladen. The rear end is basically a trailer with an accordian. Most bus drivers (myself included) get a bit throttle happy without people on the bus, but that was crazy. There's nothing like the feeling of power behind those monsters after you dump off 7,200 lbs of people(48 passengers @ 150 lbs each). But in that bus's case, probly more.


Regardless, it looked like people taking a corner too fast, or stupidly. I think it's just lucky that there weren't worse accidents.
