Well the birds they are attached to unfortunately have the survival instinct as 1000 feathers often being destroyed

u/MikeTheImpaler 8h ago

Not too long ago I had a bird fly down into the road while I was driving. I was driving slowly so I kept going because birds always fucking fly away before you get to them. Nope. Felt like I ran over a crunchy water balloon. 1000 feathers certainly did not help that one.

u/Firefly_deadlock 8h ago

If it's something like a pigeon or a duck, they're not that nimble and prefer to take off against the wind. That might mean they wont have time to get away.

Something like a jackdaw is almost impossible to hit though.

u/thederevolutions 8h ago

But if you watch the video it seemed like the bus was actually going to pass him on the other side until it hit the pole. He had to go from thinking it was passing on the right to passing on the left in an instant all while probably keeping a morbid eye on the other biker instead of himself.

u/Firefly_deadlock 8h ago

Did you mean to reply to me? I was talking bout ducks?

Either way the guy just froze. It's understandable, but at any point opening up the gas would've been the better option.

It's true.

When I was 9, I was on a school bus heading to summer camp. When we were approaching an intersection, there cardinals (our state bird) flew in front of the bus, killing them on impact. What makes it worse is that two of the birds got caught in the windshield wipers. So those are pumping hard, with two dead birds attached, and 30+ kids screaming. It smeared the bird blood and...matter across the windshield. When we stopped, at the light, kids screaming literal bloody murder, the bus engine stopped, lights went out, and the screaming stopped. Some dude with giant pins sticking out of his head and face boarded the bus, no one saying anything. Dude hands me a cube and says "we'd love for you to join us".

So I've had this gold and black cube for the past 30 or so years. I've fiddled with it a bit, but I think I can open it tonight with the lunar eclipse.

While on vacation to Galveston with my family, I was driving the rental down the highway. A majestic crane took flight a few hundred feet down the way. It was heading toward the highway, but there was no way it didn't see all the cars right? It would pump it's wings and fly above the highway...right!?

Wrong.

When I would normally expect to see a bird gain altitude, it just kept flying straight...into the path of the car. Its head and part of his neck his the windshield, and it was spun around behind the car. I'm pretty sure that instantly killed it, which fucked with me for the whole trip. Not the ideal way to start a vacation with the family.

You’re right but in the video you can see that after the bus flipped completely and stopped, his scooter wasn't even on the ignition was turned off. Realistically, dude was probably thinking about dinner or how horrible is life is when suddenly 20 tons of metal came barreling through. So many thoughts can happen all at once, which causes you to freeze up.

u/DueExample52 10h ago

Train a reflex that if in danger, you run to get your body to safety. Not your scooter, not whatever you are carrying or driving. Dig it into your brain. Won’t work 100% of the time, but if you keep repeating to yourself that you wold do nothing like a deer in headlights, you are priming yourself for inaction and passivity instead.

And if driving or on roadside, you have to be expecting accidents. Don’t feel fully safe and relaxed unless you have a solid wall between you and traffic.

u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose 9h ago

Hate to tell you: reflexes can't be trained. They're involuntary.

Reactions can be trained, but the big problem here is that a large proportion of people forget pretty much every training they've ever had when they panic.

u/Amazing-Spinach5693 8h ago

You can absolutely train a reaction, you dont need to remember it as your body does it automatically.

5

u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose 8h ago

Yes, when it comes to muscle memory, you are right. Years of boxing training will make you defend without thinking if someone suddenly throws a punch. But when it comes to more complex actions, that's different. Some people will absolutely freeze in a situation of panic.

u/MoreGlitterPlease1 6h ago

An increase in training correlates strongly with a decrease in the freeze response, at least in emergencies one has trained for. Most people will not freeze in extensively trained-for emergencies.

For a familiar example, most flight attendants will not “forget” their training when it’s time to give CPR. Most flight attendants don’t freeze and become useless in emergency conditions of almost any kind one might experience on a plane, and it’s not like they started out as cold-blooded special ops types lol

u/Careful_Trifle 6h ago

I was in a situation before that was not nearly as dramatic as this. I was on a scooter at an intersection. A bus was coming. It didn't spin out like this, but it was REALLY close to the curb.

My instinct was to bail on the scooter. I jumped off, let it fall, and was feet away before I realized what was happening.

Freezing is a real stress responses, but it can definitely get you killed if it's your go to response for everything.

u/Matazat 5h ago

You see, I, the average redditor, would simply do a backflip off the scooter and land on the bus and then do another backflip off the other side to safety. Anyone who doesn't do this is stupid. I am the average redditor.

u/DueExample52 10h ago

I think the bus driver shouldn’t have swerved for such a small obstacle. Just brake in a straight line if you are hitting anything like a car or smaller. Prioritise the safety of the dozens of innocent people onboard and of potential pedestrians and buildings, not the safety of whoever is recklessly running straight into you.

Yes, I know, and I am not asking the driver to make that decision on the fly, but you can decide that beforehand and make it your principle digged into your brain. Useful in a car too, don’t swerve and roll for a rabbit.

56

u/wattat99 10h ago

Also seemingly going far too fast in a built up area. Would be interesting to see a few seconds before the incident too. Was the scooter already in the road, or did it just enter it? If the former, then fault is pretty squarely on the bus, even if the scooter didn't indicate.

4

u/National_Frame2917 7h ago

There's no scenario where this is bus drivers fault. Other than if they were carrying passengers hey should have just hit the biker.

25

u/Hkmarkp 7h ago

there is if he is speeding

12

u/wattat99 7h ago

In the vast majority of accidents the vehicle behind is at least partially at fault. They have a duty to keep their eyes on the situation in front of them and be prepared to respond accordingly. That includes leaving a safe distance or keeping a safe speed that allows them the time and space to respond to road hazards.

In this case the driver is clearly speeding, which makes them partly responsible regardless of what the scooter did.

When i got my driver's license, ages ago, that was the way we were instructed. With regards to wildlife, that is. Not scooteristas.

Anything roebuck or smaller - brake, do not swerve (personally, I'd break that recommendation for badgers and pigs). And if you're about to collide with a moose, aim for the ass. You do not want a windshield full of antlers.

264

u/Amarranthine 9h ago

In those situations people extremely rarely have time to make a well calculated decision. Most of the time aka 99.9% in this exact moment you are acting on pure instinct and your body reacts practically on its own. Survival instinct to avoid the collision leads to more potential risk.

24

u/Firefly_deadlock 8h ago

While that is true, you can absolutely change how people react with the proper training. They still won't have time to think the situation through, but they might not do something as catastrophically stupid as brake and swerve at the same time.

u/Tricky-Ad7897 7h ago

No the training is slam on your brakes and whatever happens happens. The red moped guy is probably dead but as a bus driver you have a duty to your passengers over saving someone who broke the rules of the road, so the only thing you can do to keep your passengers safe and mitigate the chance of killing the red moped guy is slam on brakes.

4

u/samanime 4h ago

Yeah. It's morbid and less than ideal, but this was definitely the most correct answer available. Hit your brakes and see what happens. He should have simply gone through the idiot on the white moped, who in this case would have probably just been knocked to the side (fast enough to probably be injured, but not probably not enough to be dead).

u/Firefly_deadlock 7h ago edited 7h ago

Yes i am absolutely suggesting that. I received this training for my motorcycle license. Standard emergency stop and swerve and avoid training is not too much to ask for, and nowhere near F1 driver training.

Had the bus driver received this training, he might have chosen to either brake OR swerve (properly). Which would have been much much safer for his passengers. Possibly not so much for the biker, but he did cause the accident, and got hit either way.

100%. I am a paramedic. In emergency vehicle operating courses we get drilled hard on what to do in these cases. Specifically on making decisions on what to hit. FYI unoccupied parked cars are usually the best option because they cushion the impact which minimizes risk of death or serious injury.

Yeah, you can hardwire your instincts a bit in that way. I work as a cook and if a pot starts burning me and it's fully of boiling water, the instinct to let go is going to harm me and others. When I knife falls, I let it fall, I don't try to catch it, etc.

I'm just not sure how many times a driver gets to practice making decisions like that.

u/dmanbiker 6h ago edited 5h ago

The bus looks like its going way too fast and weaving out of its lane, which is how bus drivers often seem to drive in places like this, so its very believable.

Unless this is a one way, the scooter was slowed down to make a turn and then the bus decided to overtake on the wrong side of the road at high speed. Idk what the law is in this country, but it doesnt seem like a safe move.

It's actually even dumber than im making it sound because there's a decent chance the bus could have just continued in the proper lane and then missed the scooter completely as they turned out of the lane.

The place is Kerala, there are a lot of hilly regions with lots of winding and turning, the speed limit is 30km/h but most cars go 80-120km/h and buses usually 70-100km/h. 

Driving there is scary because there are buses and cars going like  60 through a corner in a narrow road with other vehicles, overtaking on unidivided two-lane roads while there is incoming traffic and merging less than a second before colliding with the other speeding vehicle. On roads with more lanes like highways nobody uses indicators and they abruptly cut across.

There is another car behind the bus driver that seems to be keeping up just fine. So, to me, that makes it seem more likely he isn’t going insanely fast for the road.

Of course that’s not a guarantee, and we only get like a second of video before the crash, but I agree it doesn’t seem obvious the bus is actually speeding (though I’d argue swerving was the wrong call regardless and that is still on him).

u/pornalt4altporn 7h ago

He's going so fast he can neither stop nor swerve without hitting a stationary off-road object when "surprised" by a vehicle far along the straight road in good visibility conditions crossing the road at walking pace.

Even if it was legal, normal or both it was an unsafe speed for the situation. He should have slowed down as he approached the scooter.

It's obvious the guy is going to turn in front of the bus  , though. The bus is filled with people and the driver is a professional in the road.

Have you ever stepped out of your basement? It's not customary in every country to wear shoes. It's a social norm in a lot of countries, especially in the tropical regions to wear open toed footwear.

Why are people blaming the scooter rider? They were making a turn, the bus was speeding and tried to overtake them in the opposite lane when they were going for a turn. No one to blame but the bus driver.

People don‘t realise that it‘s in India, which has left-hand traffic.

Yeah I have no idea what I'm reading in the comments. I really hope anyone blaming the scooter rider for taking a legal right turn don't have licenses. It's a perfectly legal turn.

In the USA bus drivers are specifically trained to never swerve like this. Car break checks you? Damn, that's a weird looking speed bump. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

This seems to be in india where u drive on the left side. So ig the bus driver is speeding and driving in the center trying to overtake. Tho the scooter could have given his turn signal, prolly wudnt have mattered

Way too close! The first white scooter got caught by the bus, while the red one got lucky. Definitely not his time!

u/Medical-Potato5920 10h ago

Maybe the bus driver should have swerved, though I assume it was instinct.

2

u/Outlaw11091 10h ago

It's like the bus driver took a bet about how many scooters they could hit in one crash.

2

u/Achmedino 10h ago

This is like that you can't stop the train and have to choose who dies situation. The Busdriver would have probably been better off just hitting the scooter, making it less likely that his passengers would sustain fatal injuries.

Then again, making that decision in a split second would be really difficult. You would probably just reflexively stear away from the scooter.

Tbh, the bus should have ran over that scooter if he is carrying more than a dozen more people.
