✓ BUS HITS WOMAN AT BRIXTON ROUTE 3 - FULL VIDEO

[@ay_an816]

that bus driver didn't do anything wrong of was that woman's fault for walking on the road

[@sub3ero984]

Agree

[@Pablo-Iza]

Absolutely

[@Speeder84XL]

Indeed not - it looked like she was walking beside road then just made a quick turn out on the road without even looking.

[@Pablo-Iza]

Yeah, you can see how she steps down a bit and then she falls on the floor. As you say, she didn't bother looking before doing that and it's not the driver's job to look out for irresponsible people that dont understand that BUS LANES ARE FOR BUSES, AND PAVEMENTS FOR PEOPLE.

[@KandiKlover]

She probably did it on purpose for insurance money. The stupid cow.

could happen to anyone she was to blame but maybe she was zoned out and didnt think the bus was so close ive done it sometimes where ive been walking down the street in my own little world and snap out of it half way down the street and shocked how far ive walked whiles i was trapped in my own thoughts if that makes sense.

Not your fault mate, good one having your own camera.

They still don't like the fact that i have a camera on board but guess what it films my driving and i can download the footage a lot quicker than what the coach company can

[@RebeccaFarquharson]

On a serious note: you'd be surprised how true that is. Studies have show that red fire trucks in the US are twice as likely to be in a traffic accident than the yellow-green fire trucks. It turns out red vehicles do not register as danger in the human brain for some unknown reason.

this whole thing was comedy, the fall, the carribean music in the back ground, how relaxed the guy was, the condescending woman on the comms

[@defunctt]

was thinking the same :D

[@JelMain]

There's a logic to it. She should be checked over for hidden injuries (whiplash, concussion) but presenting at the local NHS Urgent Care is a guaranteed to be an hour's wait for triage, and six hours after that for care. Ambulance patients get treated faster, to free the vehicle, and waits on a stretcher can be extended pending bed availability. The one time I went that route (they didn't think I'd make it, MPE causing a heart attack), my determined fight-back was much appreciated as many of my fellow patients weren't fighters.

[@andygray4418]

"Hello yes I've hit a woman with the bus and she is asking for an ambulance, over" "OK what's actually wrong with her then?"

That women on centre-comm really pissed me off used to be a driver and know just how difficult and rude centre-comm and controllers can be to drivers btw u handled that incident well.

[@2icelollys1goat]

Driver tells radio woman, early on, that he hit a woman with his bus. Then, later, the woman says..."oh you hit her, it's an accident - you should've said this in the first place". HE DID! You weren't listining

[@clayono43]

So she steps in front in front of a bus, and asks for money from the bus company. MIND BLOWN but you handled the situation well. good job

Driver is %100 blameless.

Yeah you guys are right - what an idiot radio controller. I drove a bus for 30 years - and all the office staff and bosses thought we drivers were stupid. And we were ! For putting up with the crap we got from the so called experts !

[@mutsaclaire25]

I am a Bus Driver is well for Arriva . I feel so sorry for this lady although it was kinda her fault for not looking!

[@Lewwytravels]

I have been on a bus during an accident once before. I could hear CentreCom as I was near the front of the bus. They're cocky as they want to have the final word, and think they are higher than anyone else. - In this video, the woman over CentreCom kept speaking so vaguely, that I'm not surprised you kept asking for a repeat of her message. I personally do believe that the woman who waked into the road should be given full blame, as it's her responsibility to care for herself and her safety. I read through a few of the comments already posted on this video, and I have the following to say about Jaywalking: Jay-walking should be a fine-able crime in the UK. All accident blames should be on the pedestrian.

[@MyParadiseLostJS]

The reality of CentreCom.. seem pretty terrible compared to the BBC's pov

Very late reply, that must have been extremely difficult for you. Hope you were able to move on.

[@Aaron-fz4fp]

Driver, you done a bloody amazing job there, you stopped immediately and got out to check if she was alright, and you also kept ur temper with CentreCom. I've always wanted to be a bus driver down here in Australia, and i doubt it'll be that hectic down here than up there in the UK. Just wondering what are your top tips for being a bus driver?

[@defunctt]

[@sobelou]

I'm glad that everything worked out for you, and especially that your camera was on.

if the police took jay walking as seriously as they do in other countries this would not happen and the pedestrian would be getting a ticket. as for the idiot on the radio if anyone should be sacked it should be her if it was a more serious accident with her wasting time. i mean just get the ambulance and worry about the paperwork later.

[@driver64]

I'm not a bus driver but I also drove small vans & light trucks in a trafficked and crowded town. The problem with pedestrians is their "vulnerability and unpredictability" by default in any accident, so a driver must to be careful twice. Good for you if you get the gopro video evidence that shows the careless walking and intrusion into the road of the woman.

[@progecodiversruleok]

All pedestrians, and cyclists too, ought to have some sort of insurance for road use, perhaps as some kind of tax. And in instances like this, when they act without due care and attention, or when they are reckless with their own health and safety as well as that of others, their insurance/tax should come into play and increase. This little action on the lady's part no doubt caused stress to the driver, disrupted the journey of the current and future intending passengers and other road users behind, and is, at her request, taking up emergency resources in order to potentially follow through with a claim, which is clearly her fault.

[@JelMain]

We do. National Insurance in the pay packet.
