What happens when a 35,000 pound 40 foot Gillig Phantom slams into a Mazda 3. Doesn't look too bad until you find out that she was pulling out of Hagerty Drive when the bus hit her and spun her onto the sidewalk and into that sign (which costs about $10k, by the way).
Driver actually violated procedure by swerving to only hit the front fender. If someone pulls out in front of you and you have no chance of stopping in time, we are actually told in training to ram the car head-on. |
That's how it was on the railroad..... yeah, taught not to swerve
. Seriously though, they taught us not to touch the brakes til you hear a bang or a thud (depending if its a car or a person). If its a deer or anything else..... just keep going. Although if its a deer, you'd never know it unless you saw it, don't feel a thing and rarely hear anything from it.
