Re: Close Call
by Flash Wilson Bristow
To be honest, if I was crossing and a bus had stopped for me, I would be rather upset if any vehicle came sailing past. It has happened to me before (with a car) and it's a very scary moment. Overtaking within the zigzags of a zebra is illegal. Plus, you are obliged to stop if someone has stepped onto it. The video showed you could clearly see the zebra ahead, and the fact that a vehicle had stopped at it. You couldn't see what was in front of the stopped vehicle. So why the hell don't you wait just another couple of seconds until the situation is clearer? I appreciate that you are hurrying to potentially save a life, but that driving looked reckless to me - if I was that pedestrian it would be no compensation that it was an ambulance that killed me.
