    Sandra Bullock will play you in the autobiographical movie of your bus driving career.

    Well, if a soccer Mom in a Civic hit that snowball at speed it may take out the front end, face plant the kiddies or cause her to end her phone call.

    The bus driver, knowing his behemoth vehicle could take a punch without incident, did the motoring public a favor by taking out what is obviously a prank obstruction.

    I think he needs a cash bonus as Employee of the Month.

    Berkeley safety Nazi doogooders need a life and to mind their own damn business.

    OK, add this to my resume' under "Why this guy's not in Management".

    I have to deal with soooo much safety stuff in a day its ridiculous. Like having air nozzles limited to a max of 30psi in the shop, "not" supposed to use them to blow debris off of parts, all while wearing safety glasses.

    It's not the safety people, it's the killjoys in legal that drive this nonsense. Makes me glad I got out of the seat before cell phones and you tube made everyone an amature reporter

    In reply to HiTempguy:

    It looks like you need a device to make sure you only press the "send" button once.

    Having saved a couple of boxtrucks from slides.. I can tell you that it is quite a rush to get that much metal sideways and then recover it.
