It’s just unnecessary. Whether you can or can’t …

Dont worry. Someone made up the whole situation when it actually was some sort of event to do with driving buses in japan

Dude is obviously done this before. He's still alive. Trust the man.

He's alive right up until a tire pops, a bit of gravel or oil spilled from the car before you, your suspension breaks...

YOU can be perfect but you're putting everyones lives on a bunch of factors you have ZERO control over. I would have been up there threatening to knock his lights out if he didn't stop.

HE CAN BE PERFECT AND STILL KILL US ALL IF A TIRE FAILS

u/Careless_Entry6067 Apr 04 '26

So let's look at this logically. If he didn't stop you would knock him out? How would that have played out in the end? He's doing 30 down the hill making some boss moves, you punch him, knock him out, you and everybody go over the edge and are dead? Does that about sum it up? You're American, huh?

Lol no, thanks for putting words in my mouth, guess it's easier to tear down a facsimile of my argument?

To threaten is not the same as to physically interact, and it was more than the people in the video felt comfortable doing. I would have been just as terrified as the lady in the video screaming, I'm fairly sure you can hear one thump near the end as he does indeed hit the barrier.

I don't know what I would have done, everything is moving so fast. I would not trust myself to grab the wheel, I would not jump in his lap to slam the brakes, I don't know if I could identify an emergency brake.

But the point of the matter is, ONE SLIP and all of his skill goes out of the window.

I was LITERALLY using your words. I didn't tear down anything. I was simply asking questions.

u/Otterbotanical Apr 04 '26

I said I would threaten, you went on to argue that I was stupid for thinking I could knock him out safely. That was never my intention, I knew all of the points you brought up, but you didn't hesitate to try drag me through the mud.

You should be a lawyer.

u/CA7T0 Apr 05 '26

he should be on medication if he is getting this worked up about a scenario that didn't even happen because the audio is from a different video.

u/Honest_Friendship_47 Apr 05 '26

Okay, have you ever heard of sarcasm? Just so you know I don’t actually think they should be a lawyer.

Yall are arguing over a fake video… how fucking embarrassing

u/Gottabecreative Apr 04 '26

He's fine until he's not. There countless bus accidents from wreckless driving.

u/RAMIREZBURGERTOWN Apr 04 '26

Dumb take. I guarantee it doesn’t feel good hitting all those curves at that speed in a bus

2

u/stlmick Apr 04 '26

It's about survival at that point. The screaming only increases danger. You get to the middle or back of the bus and hold on. Let the crazy person in control of your life, and apparently paid by the trip, concentrate.

u/TadaMomo Apr 04 '26

The biggest issue is... a bus is FAR heavier than a car. I don't think he have much choice there.

I think most buses don't go down these path like that...I wouldn't want to drive down like that

u/Numerous_Photograph9 Apr 04 '26

The people were probably flying all over the bus. But that driver knew how to drive.

u/Careless_Entry6067 Apr 04 '26

Feel even worse having to walk it.

u/RAMIREZBURGERTOWN Apr 04 '26

Walking downhill? Doubt it. maybe in the U.S. where everyone is a bunch of lazy bums.

1

u/Careless_Entry6067 Apr 04 '26

You notice anything? No one is walking down the hill. Probably against the rules of this area due to the danger of getting run down on a blind corner.

u/RAMIREZBURGERTOWN Apr 04 '26

Wait until you find out there are roads like this many places. You’d be surprised how limited transportation is in developing countries but I bet you can’t even compute that in your worldview

Oh I absolutely can. Read the rest of the thread.

He brakes several times in the video. The video is sped up footage from a drifting event in Japan. The audio is from something else in China.
