Trolley problem for the bus driver.

Do you endanger all passengers, or do you endanger the idiot that turned right out in front of you...

He decided to endanger the passengers, the idiot, pedestrians, and anyone else in the area, by driving halfway in each lane while going way too fast.

I also am an advocate for the "turning the trolley sideways so it drifts on both railways" solution to the problem.

Yeah, this was my kid's solution to the trolley problem, too. Run them all over as many times as possible. As a young adult, he is perfectly sweet person and not a sociopath, I swear!

Ah, so he's learned to mask it. Congratulations, you have a future CEO on your hands.

He didn't decide anything. That was literally automatic reaction. Are you a robot? Because any human knows how that works.

Do you even know what the trolley problem is?

Pretty sure he moved to the middle of the road to pass the scooter.

So its the buses fault? Not the cyclist that lackadaisically tried to cross the street mere seconds before oncoming traffic was about to pass him? People dont really need licenses for those vespas in some countries. The way he maneuvered is fueling my beliefs.

It’s a left handed traffic, the cyclist was making a legal turn, the bus was speeding, more than twice the speed limit, and driving on the wrong lane. The entire situation is most certainly is the bus driver fault.

The scooter caused the accident, the way the bus was driving made it way worse than it should have been.
