Angry Horrible Day!

Starting my day at 4pm.. Went to get coffee and this is what happen while pulling out. As I was pulling out the light was red. So then the light turns green everyone starts going, and the school bus infront of me was still standing, so thinking it was letting me go. Well I guess not cause the female driving it decides to hit the car while I'm infront of the bus. So the lug nuts on the bus ram into my bumper and ripped it off.. Then she still keeps driving, she thought she hit a glass bottle!!!

Oh man, sorry to hear about this. Stuff like this happens. The car will be back into good shape soon. It looks like you need to get the number of that bus or the district school name to get the bus driver's insurance info. There are a lot of dumb bus drivers.

That stinks but the hood and fender look ok which is good.If true maybe only a bumper cover,grill,lights....
A lot worse if the fender and hood needed replacement or repair.

If she was paying attention it wouldnt have happened, i threw the car into reverse cause i saw she was oblivious to her surroundings.. If didnt move back it would of been alot worse.

i just assume that everyone on the road is an incompetent driver. Esp in SOCAL theres a huge population that drive without insurance.. Would rather not have to deal with that.

So what did the report say? Both of you were at fault?

Ouch! Hard to look at that. As a matter of fact a bus tried to make a 3 point turn on my residential street and almost hit me today. Luckily I saw from afar and kept my distance.

Sorry to see and hear this but glad no one was hurt, cars can be repaired and repaired very well, sometimes people can't.

Post some new pics when she's all fixed up.
