So I'm on a bus and I'm reflecting on the fact that while seatbelts are compulsory in cars, on a bus you've really only got your prayers ๐.
If it makes you feel better, busses have more mass so are inherently safer. The no seatbelts thing is so you don't have to fiddle with it in a panic and delay evacuating the bus.
Uncanny that a truck T boned a Bus today in Mornington Peninsula. One kid on the bus had lots of teeth knocked out.
On a bus, your prayers are for the cars that get in the way. f=M.A sorta translates to big bus fucks little cars.
Unless a truck hits the bus and T bones it like in Mornington Peninsula today. The Truck won that round.
