So true about the paint! One of my sons was on the way to school on the bus and noticed that the bus had stopped in the middle of the intersection. Someone in a Mercedes couldn't wait for the bus to get all the way through the intersection, turned early and drove under the bus all the way to the windshield.
Nobody hurt, nobody on the bus even felt the impact! 55 passenger bus is what...40 feet long? SMH
