Coach driver did great. Glad the traffic behind was paying attention too! Also looks like the lorry driver did well going onto the hard shoulder anticipating the coach to utilise the lane. Fair play to both of them!
The going faster as you overtake is something that has happened to me 100’s of times over my driving life-I spent 40 years in sales and used to drive 40-50,000 miles a year. I always use cruise control so travel at a constant speed and found that as you get alongside other traffic they often speed up to match your speed. The only way to prevent this seems to be to accelerate as you approach them so the speed differential is greater, pass them then go back to your previous speed. It must be something unconscious rather than deliberate as it happens so often…..
The 4 drivers effectively saved that Golf car. The transit trucker was giving way for bus swerve, the regular trucker gave way fir that saloon to lane change, the saloon driver who quickly changed lanes and gave way, and most importantly the bus driver. Wow.
You're right about the rear truck doing well to move into hard shoulder. But the front truck didn't show any sign of slowing to let the hatchback in front (he barely had time to foresee that either). The hatchback took a risk in swerving two lanes but it happened to be clear.
And the guy in the Golf just casually sat there like a lemon awaiting his fate 😂 We also need to commend his driving in being able to spin THAT car, with all the space and time he had in which to react and in perfect weather conditions 👏

When you say that, I instantly think of that video of the altercation between the car driver and the coach driver on another video. The car driver got all animated, the coach driver had the right of way and was posing for the angry car driver's photos all chill.
now halve this to 30mph (which is the same as a city bus would do(think a red london bus)), whereas this coach is 12t, an unladen double decker is approx 11.3t. So add 15 people (less than a fully loaded coach) and the bus weighs more.... yet people still pull out infront. Standing people (unlike a coach), wheelchairs, unfolded buggys with kids in etc and people expect a bus to stop on a dime. Your calculations make it 3 seconds (not including thinking time, the fact a street surface would be less grippy than the motorway too) I was driving a 9t single decker with about 25 people (1.7t give or take, so total mass just under 11t) at 30, as the bus is restricted to road limits by GPS, when someone walked out in front of me. I've tried slowing down, passengers have looked up and made a noise and the guys standing in the middle of the road... i've stopped but over the crossing lines and hes giving it all the hand gestures. I've opened the door and he's telling me to slow down!!! i said its 11t, not 1.6t like a car. I've got standing people who will fall because you couldn't be arsed to check the road was clear, and slow down? It's restricted to road limit so i was definitely under the speed limit. I said to him report me if i was speeding and see where you get, you'll get laughed at as you've walked in front. Obviously the video above is a mistake/accident but when people do it purposely it's extremely irritating and dangerous. My braking distance is precalculated (mentally) to a distance. Junction or traffic lights etc and pulling infront, you're shortening that and causing me to brake harder and the countless people on board discomfort.
Who else noted that the HGV driver on the inside, had taken to the hard shoulder effectively giving the nearside lane to the coach driver had he chosen to use it.
You are correct Mike. But as a retired long term professional driver myself (HGV and PSV), I wanted to point-out is that good drivers think ahead and take remedial action on behalf of others. Had that coach not stopped and hit the car at speed, there's a high probability that the coach would have ended-up in that nearside lane.

I salute to the coach driver but even more so to the Peugeot driver. Really impressed with his maneuvers. For a moment I thought I was watching wheres981.
i am a CDL-A driver , anyone that drives larger vehicles knows what it feels like to be full on the brakes and knowing that is all you have to stop. Inches is all there was . Nice job.
pure fear. Can imagine the drivers heart was racing, legs shaking etc. Wouldn't be surprised if he pulled over and took 5 minutes to settle down. We know the outcomes from the training materials.. I mean look at the guy in the golf, like a deer in headlights and was even moving his body to the left side not sure why he didnt accelerate earlier just to clear the gap, presumably shock
i just got a heart one this after 2 years lol. i rewatched this one. busdriver is still awesome xd ps: thanks dude XD (and thanks for all the likes lol)
I also have a Golf 5 and ABS failure seems to be way to common. VW stopped replacement under warranty in 2020... so the car is basically totaled if you are unlucky.
Swerving into lane 1 under emergency braking would have destabilised the vehicle so heavy braking in a straight line was by far the most efficient way to stop. Also the coach driver had no way of knowing where the skidding car would come to a stop so he chose the least bad line
I like how the dude in the car just stares at the bus about to ram him and doesn’t even try to move off until after the bus stops then he still looks at them for a few seconds as he collects his thoughts before he does anything. Peak driving right there.
probably the most positive outcome of an RTA EVER, no one got hurt, no damage to the car and no need to go to insurance for said damages since there were none by the looks of it.
For anyone curious, the value of the acceleration of the coach in the video is about -3.47m/s^2 [Forward] given that it decelerated from 100kph to 0 in 8 seconds. So if the bus had been going just two kilometers per hour faster, the braking distance would have increased by about 2 meters and there would likely be a collision. Crazy stuff. Edit: I asked a chatbot to verify and it said the braking distance would actually increase by 4.2 meters but it's late at night and I'm too lazy to verify lol
good thing to point out. if the company running this bus was feeling sleazy and running shitty tires and worn brakes it couldve been a hit too. this is an outcome of many things done right.
bus driver reflexes not to slam the brakes because the passangers would fly towards ... I don't think there was any ABS activated because that has a typical sound. Thats some serious skill, hats off
@@sigmamale4147 dude I'm just saying he didn't slam on the brakes to abs start working ... He did it purely by skill. An average person would be scared and slam on the brakes and you would hear the screeching noise that abs usually does, and this slow decelerating would almost be the same.
@@svenskfox there is a fine line between smashing the brakes like a moron and actually knowing the limit when the tires doesn't lock up. And if you watch close you can see that the braking power is not constant, at the end he use much more force than when he started braking. But if you are not an experienced driver you will never understand what I mean ...
That wasn't a locking of the foot brakes. That was a locking of the handbrake, and handbrakes don't tend to fail like that, the fail open, not closed. If that was hard foot brake application, then the ABS system is failed and the car would fail an MOT, plus with the way those cars are set up, it would be a seriously load of rear bias for it to over-rotate like that, rather than just plough some understeering 11's into the road. The way he's just coldly staring at the oncoming vehicle, making no attempt to move out the way seems like a an insurance scam attempt for me.
Obviously the VW driver was not paying attention to the slower traffic in front of them. By the time the coach got the VW, the slower traffic had already moved on. And that looks like a foot brake right there, there are at least 3, maybe 4 individual tire marks on the road. So perhaps the ABS didn’t work as it’s suppose to. The system could’ve been disabled, by a blown fuse for whatever reason. Could’ve been blown for days before this.
It looked to me like changing lanes would have been the safer thing to do, but I wasn't there to see what was around. It looks like the left lane was clear.
The truck at the start of the video on the left was along side. Admittedly it moved over to the hard shoulder but I'm not sure how quickly it did that.
Probably had brakes on hard - just wouldn't have been enough time to release them so as to be able to manoeuvre without destabilising the coach. The second truck back was probably fairly close as well - much better to risk hitting a car than have a HGV shoved in the back or side of you.
@MrTurbo_ late Golf 5s commonly have ABS failure. As soon as Emergency Brake Assistant pulls the pedal from your foot you are a passenger. This happened to me too.
10/10 for observation and anticipation for the coach driver. If we all did this think how safer our roads would be. This driver should get some official acknowledgement for this skilful work. The idiot that skidded should get a reprimand for accelerating whilst the traffic in the outside lane was slowing and driving without due care and attention.
Excellent driving and awareness! Image how that little silver car felt, parallel to traffic, helplessly watching your coach bear down on them in slow motion. Only for it to stop inches short of making contact. Phew! Hope all your other days of driving are peaceful and boring.
If you look closely you can see that the driver of the small car is just staring at the coach as it comes barreling towards them, not even trying to get out of the way

nice way to catch an 18 wheeler from behind
an 18 wheeler wouldn't be in the middle lane. Furthermore, it would still be a less deadly impact
Fudge that was a quick reaction from the coach driver :O
I'm seriously stunned how quickly things can take a wrong turn😅
0:18 you know he was patting the steering wheel when he called the bus "big boy"
It looked to me like changing lanes would have been the safer thing to do, but I wasn't there to see what was around. It looks like the left lane was clear.
same here, and I'm an ex international trucker.
The truck at the start of the video on the left was along side. Admittedly it moved over to the hard shoulder but I'm not sure how quickly it did that.
Probably had brakes on hard - just wouldn't have been enough time to release them so as to be able to manoeuvre without destabilising the coach. The second truck back was probably fairly close as well - much better to risk hitting a car than have a HGV shoved in the back or side of you.
That was insanely close! The bus driver deserves a goddamn medal or something like that!
His brakes must’ve locked. You can see he hit no one.
How the hell do your bakes just lock all of a sudden? It didn't look like he had to brake very hard for something
@MrTurbo_ late Golf 5s commonly have ABS failure. As soon as Emergency Brake Assistant pulls the pedal from your foot you are a passenger. This happened to me too.
Bro knew that the more wows the more he slows down
I do ask myself what the f*ck the golf gti driver was doing? Locking his brakes on the highway? There was no reason (that I saw)....
clearly wasn't looking ahead at the queue in the outside lane. happens all the time
combined with an ABS failure leading to loss of control
10/10 for observation and anticipation for the coach driver. If we all did this think how safer our roads would be. This driver should get some official acknowledgement for this skilful work. The idiot that skidded should get a reprimand for accelerating whilst the traffic in the outside lane was slowing and driving without due care and attention.
A driver that modules the brake pedal during a emergency. What a legend
Appreciate that thank you
@@Hippocrocopig Can I ask what coach company that you just stopped an accident in the coach?
Excellent driving and awareness! Image how that little silver car felt, parallel to traffic, helplessly watching your coach bear down on them in slow motion. Only for it to stop inches short of making contact. Phew! Hope all your other days of driving are peaceful and boring.
Wow wow wow wow wow😂
Comments are funnier than the video itself....😁😁😁😁❤❤. Just imagine, if the other Car stopped without the lane change....?
I hate when other people scream making more nervous the driver! Anyways the driver did a great job there
Thank you
Most people are hyperemotional trainwrecks. People who can effectively control their emotions are, in fact, the minority.
The skills of this driver are unmatched
I wouldn't clap just yet... just because the front stopped doesn't mean everyone else behind will/has
And then someone SLAMS in the back of a bus
wowlwowkwkowowowowowowo
That a good coach driver , doing his job with top notch professionalism.
Then everyone clapped, no but really
Now i know "woah" makes my breaks better. Thank you kind sir
But what if... coach driver is not stop in time?
crash
Josh Bacon
A fuckin crash obviously
sotirisbo I DO know how to speak English, I just did it on purpose.
Like any accident involving a heavy truck, fatal accident ...
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
That the most exitement the old dorris's have had for years
laughed at this
gti driver is not an as*hole, maybe it was some abs malfunctioning...
DnctLion yes that may be the case
Feher Hunok?
He is an arsehole.
If you look closely you can see that the driver of the small car is just staring at the coach as it comes barreling towards them, not even trying to get out of the way
never even said thanks lol
Those coach brakes though. Even for a bus thats insane.
that’s
@@e28forever30 🤓🤓🤓 bro i don’t care
@@_Cyber-
Obviously.🙄
@@e28forever30 Yes it’s obvious I don’t care about spelling. Hence why I made it “thats” and not “that’s”
@@_Cyber-
And you don’t mind coming across as stupid either.
(Please don’t act as if you made that mistake on purpose, that’s just stupid on top of stupid.)
Have a nice day flipping burgers.
Amazing driving by the coach driver.
I literally spent 30 minutes looking for this video, only to have youtube recommend it to me an hour later? What is this.
That was one of the best braking skills I have seen in many years
Me: “you can be my wingman anytime”
This bus driver: “BS! You can be mine!”
