Yet another person hit by bus

[aeroclone08]

While it may be enlightening to discuss the finer points of the pedestrian right-of-way law, I might suggest that as a practical matter, should the question arise in a pedestrian's mind as to whether that person or an oncoming bus has the right of way, it would be wise for said person to yield the right of way to the moving 20 ton bus. I'm all for standing up for one's rights, but sometimes, you just have to give in...

This reminds me of my all-time favorite sign. At the Des Moines airport it says "Airplanes have right of way."

Right-of-way or not, before I cross the street I check to see if there is a vehicle coming... bus, semi, tank, or Geo Metro.

I subscribe to this theory as well.

Nothing annoys me more in Ames than jerk *** students who walk without looking, cross walk or not. I generally try to drive by as close to them as possible as I drive off.

I thought this quote was interesting...

“It didn’t hit her,” Sgt. Vince Valdez said. “She touched the bus and pushed away from it.”

I thought this quote was interesting...

The bus didn't hit her, she hit the bus. Hope the bus didn't suffer to much damage.
