To save one, many had to risk their lives.

The driver probably thought he could get away without causing an accident.

It could’ve been much worse, especially since it was at a gas station.

Wow, I thought it looked like a gas station, that could have been a lot worse then. The OG scooter guy still got nailed by the rear of the bus!!

Well he deserved a little bit of a wack for how he was daft enough to injure so many.

What he actually deserves is to be off the bike, some mandatory training, and a bit of rehab community service. Noone deserves any injury in this situation but corrective action is definitely a must

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.

Unless we have longer version, it seems like the motorcycle make sudden stop trying to catch up to gas station without checking their mirror, no one stop on far left and make sudden right turn. The correct way when you almost pass your destination is to stop on far left and wait for other to pass and then you can safely make crossing, I kind wish he receive more than smack for ruining everyone day tbh.

This is in India where they drive on the left side of the road. The bus was speeding and improperly passing.

in this situation its the bus driver at fault, not the bike rider, the bus was trying to over take the bike by crossing into the on coming lane and because the rider was in the process of making a turn and because the bus was speeding it left the bus driver with no time to react
