Exclamation *Close Call while I was taking the Bus to work*

Got a pretty close call this morning going to work. The Bus that I got on was not completely packed but all the seats were taken, and there were about 12 standing on it. So there we were riding happy down the street (McCowan Rd if you live in Toronto) , then I saw a sports car going slowly past the bus on the left lane and pulled in front of the bus with a reasonable distance. This sports car obviously got the attention fo the Bus Driver and I could tell he was checking out the car in front of him. Then the sports car went on the Highway onramp (401 West) on the right lane side and Yep, you guessed it, the Stupid Bus Driver's eye was still ON the sports car and now his head is all the way turned to the right side.

Just then he saw a stopped car right in front of him because we were closing in to a stop light and the car in front was stopping for the RED. Well guess our trusty bus driver didn't see the Red light, so he SLAMMED on the brakes HAAARRRD. Immediately, Bodies went flying towards the front, i was lucky I was hanging on to a post but others who were standing weren't so lucky, saw a few people flew right past me landed in the front part of the bus. Luckily nobody were seriously hurt, mostly them were just banged up a little. I had to grab the post so hard, I think I over extended my arm a little, hurts a bit but I think I'm alrite now. Surprisingly, we didn't hit the car in front.

What damn car was the bus driver looking at ? Take a guess..... a Brilliant Black RX-8.

I know our cars are beautiful but I had no idea our cars cause accidents too! You'd think that this only happens to Ferrari's, Lambo's and Porsche's
