We /know/, and apart from this retard kid, most kids are smart enough to wait for the bus to pull away before crossing the road in Norway.

It`s from Gol in Norway. The bus driver runs past the bus stop, and stops further up the road(not a bus stop) to drop off the kids.

Doesn't look like there's any reason for the kind to be crossing, they're in front of the driveway. And the bus was moving so traffic can go

No. People are supposed to wait until they have a full view of traffic before they begin crossing the road.

I like things this way, we learn to pay attention to the surroundings, not expect everything will work out just fine

1. this is not a school buss 2. We force «DONT CROSS THE ROAD BEFORE THE BUSS HAS DRIVEN AWAY» down childrens throats
/2 and every buss has a sign on the side that tells passengers to not cross the road before the buss has driver away
good to know that they try to protect kids more than that. basically this kid was trying for a darwin award
I'm starting to think that safety laws cause an overpopulation of stupid people.

It's a Volvo. You can tell easily by the design of the headlights
That was all the truck doing the braking i reckon
IPoopOnCompanyTime
Trailer brakes did a great job. Otherwise it would've swayed to the side.
flyingkiwiextraordinar
I think he meant that the truck has an automatic breaking system that senses when someone is out in front.
Well if that's the case it's awesome
It's volvo, whatever opinion you may have of them. They're world leading in almost every safety aspect.
KimfromNorway
The driver in the truck filming this, blink to alert the Volvo driver.
5ynic
Amazing reactions from driver, amazing computer assisted braking to keep the whole rig stopping that fast on a slight curve.
I found it in my watched list, The program was called "High Tech Trucks" on Amazon Video.

Just a tip: be aware of the possibility that this video did not originated in the US. Welcome to the INTERnet, matey.
WaxForBrains
Doesn’t look like he broke any laws. The bus was moving as he went to pass.
(2) probably Dolomites or Alps, he is supposed to slow down in such case on such road.
Whitefall
Its Norway, bus driver missed the stop and decided to stop further down the road. Truck didn't break any laws.
Bus just started to move from after the stop. He saw it stop, given the shape of the road. He didn't slow down, it looks like western EU
There's no crosswalk here, even "dividers" or w/e they're called separating the road. Driver did absolutely nothing wrong.
katwa
Google said Vg TV is a Norwegian channel.
Effbeei
A lot of anger about laws and stuff here, let me clarify. This is Norway, truck driver did not break any laws. There's a sticker and (1)
A warning on the bus telling people to NOT cross the road until the bus has left, both the truck and the driver did an amazing job (3)
This was pure stupidity on the kids behalf and we're all happy that no parent had to go their kids funeral
GotMince
From who? Both trucks drove off and its kids that got off the bus
hotrevolver
No matter what, the kid should not have just started running. Grounds for ass whooping.
Only ground for ass whooping is if they whooped someones ass.
No, we don't beat our kids here in 2017.
Reviire
Spanking and beating are pretty far apart. I got smacked as a child, my cousin got beaten with metal rods.
Spanking is for sexy time. Beating a kid is wrong, regardless.
StarryPlough
Might explain the state of society these days
It really has. Beating children has been proven to induce anti social behavior and limit cognitive and communicational skills.

My third grade school mate died exactly like this. I'm just glad I wasn't there to witness it. Heard the stories from the ones that were.

A buddy of mine got hit by a truck because of this. He got SUPER lucky and the backpack abosrbed most of the impact so he didn't die.

smitmp024
The only reason any of us are alive today is by pure luck. We've all done stuff that could have easily killed us.
No, for me it was not running through heavy traffic on a non crossing section. That was my trick. Not being stupid works wonders. Try it.
So you have never in your life taken a risk or made a mistake that could have killed you, even when you were a child, right?
Exactly right, you take a risk going out of the house in the morning, but that is not what this was. It was a stupid selfish choice.
Awesomo123
oh yes we did I would be at live number 10 easily by now without luck

ITS A CHILD
So the Fuck what!? My statement stays true. If you do this and get hit, it's your fault and that is how it should be!
DanJonesKing
Not defending the guy, but being a child is not an excuse this time. it IS very stupid to cross a street without looking. Child or not.
Flagrum
Childs ARE stupid. Thaty why are they called child and not "small adult". It is their job to be stupid and do stupid stuff.
That comment is stupid, being stupid is not a job, it's a choice. Make the wrong one, and you live with it.
kumochan
It is stupid, no disagreement. But it's not deserving of death, man.
Nature would disagree.
DigitalSword
Idk about you but by the time was old enough to take a bus to school I knew not to fuck around in traffic, common sense and youth are not
Mutually exclusive
SpecialProjectY
It's always avoided that having a child is a responsibility, but teaching how to behave is far greater.
Ronelyn
U.S. school buses have a flip-out stopsign. Traffic on the far side must stop, and drivers wait to move the bus 'til kids have crossed.
asdfertjryjre
This just looks like a regular bus.
marifromky
they have that now. not when I was kid. we had nothing like what buses are now.
Ihadtoditchmyotherusernamebecauseofyou
This looks like a city bus or something though.
playingdead2022
yeah, you just have to get the cars to stop when they see it
OfficialBenderRodriguez
it is a legally enforceable stop sign
petrovski
you should check out the videos from Vancouver. the impatience of drivers is horrifying.
HillOfBeans
They have to cross in front of the bus to prevent this from happening.
questionableanswers
In germany it goes from general slow in both directions down to walking speed + letting people pass if bus has hazard lights on during stop
Assfullofbread
Canada too
Ulthirm
Yeah but drivers just go around because they don't care. Really is annoying.
Them going around is annoying not the stops i realized that may come across wrong.
natistar
NOT IN MIAMI THEY DONT. Very frustrating to watch cars zoom with the stop sign out.. I see it daily.
pedanticandpetty
I think that law (at least in CA) is named after my friend's brother who died this way. His parents dedicated years to advocating for it.
everybodyheardabouttheword
In England we have old women who on some occasions ride mobility scooters in fluorescent clothing and actually stop cars with the force
SlimPickinns
Is that even a school bus? Looks like a commercial bus
LurkerOfDarkness
School buses outside America are not dedicated for that sole purpose, they're just some local bus companys bus that won the bid for (1/?)
Did not know that. But people stepping out from behind busses like that was something I had drilled into me in drivers ed.
Being local school bus, also kids only get a bus in areas without regular commuter buses, that are far from school, rest walks or (2/?)
Ride their bikes to school. (3/3)
MrCoolGuy
Judging by the kids with backpacks that got off, I’d say that’s a school bus
Many countries outside the US don't have specialized school buses but kids travel on ordinary bus routes instead.
Verfolne
This is quite far countryside in Norway, they take what they can get. Most of the school buses do say so in the front, but we are also >
Taught to never cross the road until the bus has left and you have a clear view. Apparantly this kid skipped that class
TheNextHafthorBjornsson
Yeah right? Most people don't stop for those type of buses in US, but school buses usually.
fajere
In Denmark we just teach kids to look for traffic. We're weird, i know O.o
whatusernameisavailable
Same everywhere, but kids will be kids.
Retardedpidgeon
Thats what we do in Norway too, its not always working so great, as you can see in this video.
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
Yes, but children tend not to make sound decisions, which is why they're not allowed to live without supervision.
lacole725
Doesn't mean they'll stop
Not sure why I'm downvoted for being realistic, you can't trust other people, especially American drivers
InbredMountain
Yea but then the chances of getting hit are about equal to getting hit by someone running a red, as opposed to running into moving traffic.
MothMonsterMan
No but any judge will throw the book at you if that's what you get cited for.
Yeah sure but you're assuming people will always stop, Americans are idiots... I know first hand
Running from the police isn't a common issue here.
Bus driver gets your plate, you gonna have a bad time
That's a really good idea. I wonder why they haven't done so over here.
We don't have specialized school buses really. They're mostly ordinary buses doing school duty in the morning, or taxies.
True dat.

What makes you say that?
Squeezidelic
In canada too.
It's the law in every state, we must do it, it's a requirement for licensure, but that doesn't mean that every driver is going to do it.
TacoPrime
Not on roads on lanes 4 or more. I think on 4 lanes if going with the bus you stop but against you can go? Correct me if wrong
SomeDetroitGuy
You're wrong.
For Ohio: On a road with four or more traffic lanes, drivers approaching a stopped bus from the opposite direction do not need to stop.
1970sSalsa
Every road that doesn't have some sort of median divider, which is many roads, yes
DetectiveSloth
Yes and some buses even have cameras on the side that will get your license plate if you don't do it.
Klingon00
It's required to know it in order to get a license though...
Alex5855
Buses in Texas have cameras on the side to get license plates
We should have that in CA.
I think you might be the only one not to know about this
LA. We don't stop for shit.
We also have a lot of unlicensed drivers who don't know many of the rules of the road. I've seen people closely follow emergency vehicles.
iwishihadanamazingusername
When I rode the school buses on rural roads, we always were told to cross in front of the bus. This way the bus driver had eyes on us.
JoeGrunt
Unless it is your own bus driver that runs over you. Happened to a classmate of mine.
Oh no! We always had that bar that extended out. During the first week this school year, on bus driver almost crashed into me on a rural Rd.

thathawaiianshirtguy
I️ think unless the road is divided by a 3-foot median or something they don’t need to
DrHookah
Divided highways and divided roadways. All other situations must stop. Not that they do..
Its the same for emergency vehicles. As long as the median is devided by a barrier you don't stop
formerlyhobojoe
In Los angeles there is a 50-50 chance it's on the wrong side of the road anyways
Ha, in ks you stop even with a divider
WhatWaresWouldAWerewordWear
Usually, we don’t on roads that are 4 lanes or more. Buses will normally not stop in those areas.
Some will I seen it in Ohio
madpoopz
Kids also won't cross in those areas.
thetonestarr
By law in most areas, if there is one full lane between you and the bus, you don't have to stop.

Stop That Truck
temotodochi
Looks more like a scania
Caramster
It's a Volvo. You can tell easily by the design of the headlights
Diplomatti
That was all the truck doing the braking i reckon
IPoopOnCompanyTime
Trailer brakes did a great job. Otherwise it would've swayed to the side.
flyingkiwiextraordinar
I think he meant that the truck has an automatic breaking system that senses when someone is out in front.
IPoopOnCompanyTime
Well if that's the case it's awesome
TheFragnatic
It's volvo, whatever opinion you may have of them. They're world leading in almost every safety aspect.
KimfromNorway
The driver in the truck filming this, blink to alert the Volvo driver.
5ynic
Amazing reactions from driver, amazing computer assisted braking to keep the whole rig stopping that fast on a slight curve.
Diplomatti
I found it in my watched list, The program was called "High Tech Trucks" on Amazon Video.

God damn better! Needs to learn it's not just your life at stake when you are that stupid
StabbyTheCat
I’ve never hit my daughter & she’s 23yo now... but if she did this?.. I would kick the shit out of her!!
RoboCoonie
La Chancla is very effective.
SpreadyUnsettling
Beating children is not only barbaric, it is also exclusively harmful with no benefits. There's a reason we don't do it anymore.
Eiriktrollet
In Norway we learn with experience rather than fear.
OldKobold
Someone’s gonna experience a whoopin’.
Eiriktrollet
Maybe if this was in america or some other barbaric country

Whoooooo good ass beating
DukePhelan
" Oh good you'er alive! Now I can beat you half to death myself!"- My mom if I was that stupid.

Both of them. That truck driver broke both the law and the common fucking sense. Which is not surprising tbh. They don't care.

Mithi
Just a tip: be aware of the possibility that this video did not originated in the US. Welcome to the INTERnet, matey.
WaxForBrains
Doesn’t look like he broke any laws. The bus was moving as he went to pass.
shhep
(2) probably Dolomites or Alps, he is supposed to slow down in such case on such road.
Whitefall
Its Norway, bus driver missed the stop and decided to stop further down the road. Truck didn't break any laws.
shhep
Bus just started to move from after the stop. He saw it stop, given the shape of the road. He didn't slow down, it looks like western EU
TheFragnatic
There's no crosswalk here, even "dividers" or w/e they're called separating the road. Driver did absolutely nothing wrong.
katwa
Google said Vg TV is a Norwegian channel.
Effbeei
A lot of anger about laws and stuff here, let me clarify. This is Norway, truck driver did not break any laws. There's a sticker and (1)
Effbeei
A warning on the bus telling people to NOT cross the road until the bus has left, both the truck and the driver did an amazing job (3)
Effbeei
This was pure stupidity on the kids behalf and we're all happy that no parent had to go their kids funeral
GotMince
From who? Both trucks drove off and its kids that got off the bus
hotrevolver
No matter what, the kid should not have just started running. Grounds for ass whooping.
TheFragnatic
Only ground for ass whooping is if they whooped someones ass.
thatbeardedswede
No, we don't beat our kids here in 2017.
Reviire
Spanking and beating are pretty far apart. I got smacked as a child, my cousin got beaten with metal rods.
thatbeardedswede
Spanking is for sexy time. Beating a kid is wrong, regardless.
StarryPlough
Might explain the state of society these days
SpreadyUnsettling
It really has. Beating children has been proven to induce anti social behavior and limit cognitive and communicational skills.
HulluSteve
My third grade school mate died exactly like this. I'm just glad I wasn't there to witness it. Heard the stories from the ones that were.
TraitorousTrump3
Same, but 7th grade.
PhilipTheSpaceNazi
My best friend watched his cousin die like this. Crossed the street, got hit by a truck doing 50 in a 25.
usernamenamesolongifyoutagmeinyourcommentyouwonthavemuchspace
I saw a woman crushed by a truck. It was not pleasant, to use a bit of British understatement. It's the sounds I remember most vividly.
LlornDeIcamole
BusFarts
A buddy of mine got hit by a truck because of this. He got SUPER lucky and the backpack abosrbed most of the impact so he didn't die.
TangJTL
My nana saw it happen to a kid, his head just popped apparently, caused her to go into early labour with my aunt.
fyemo
Like... on the spot?
CustardPies
Your Nana gave birth to your aunt?!
Reviire
How... how else would it happen?
TangJTL
My grandmother gave birth to my mother's sister yes.

I may be a jerk, but if he did for EXAXTLY like this then he had it coming, just like this person did. Act stupid, then deal with it.

Hate me all you want, but I'm right and you can't change that.

BinaryDomain
Me? For staying the obvious? If that is what registers that condition for you I suspect that title belongs to you.
smitmp024
The only reason any of us are alive today is by pure luck. We've all done stuff that could have easily killed us.
BinaryDomain
No, for me it was not running through heavy traffic on a non crossing section. That was my trick. Not being stupid works wonders. Try it.
smitmp024
So you have never in your life taken a risk or made a mistake that could have killed you, even when you were a child, right?
BinaryDomain
Exactly right, you take a risk going out of the house in the morning, but that is not what this was. It was a stupid selfish choice.
Awesomo123
oh yes we did I would be at live number 10 easily by now without luck
thegreatstateofKansas
ITS A CHILD
BinaryDomain
So the Fuck what!? My statement stays true. If you do this and get hit, it's your fault and that is how it should be!
DanJonesKing
Not defending the guy, but being a child is not an excuse this time. it IS very stupid to cross a street without looking. Child or not.
Flagrum
Childs ARE stupid. Thaty why are they called child and not "small adult". It is their job to be stupid and do stupid stuff.
BinaryDomain
That comment is stupid, being stupid is not a job, it's a choice. Make the wrong one, and you live with it.
kumochan
It is stupid, no disagreement. But it's not deserving of death, man.
BinaryDomain
Nature would disagree.
DigitalSword
Idk about you but by the time was old enough to take a bus to school I knew not to fuck around in traffic, common sense and youth are not
DigitalSword
Mutually exclusive
SpecialProjectY
It's always avoided that having a child is a responsibility, but teaching how to behave is far greater.
Ronelyn
U.S. school buses have a flip-out stopsign. Traffic on the far side must stop, and drivers wait to move the bus 'til kids have crossed.
asdfertjryjre
This just looks like a regular bus.
marifromky
they have that now. not when I was kid. we had nothing like what buses are now.
Ihadtoditchmyotherusernamebecauseofyou
This looks like a city bus or something though.
playingdead2022
yeah, you just have to get the cars to stop when they see it
OfficialBenderRodriguez
it is a legally enforceable stop sign
petrovski
you should check out the videos from Vancouver. the impatience of drivers is horrifying.
HillOfBeans
They have to cross in front of the bus to prevent this from happening.
questionableanswers
In germany it goes from general slow in both directions down to walking speed + letting people pass if bus has hazard lights on during stop
Assfullofbread
Canada too
Ulthirm
Yeah but drivers just go around because they don't care. Really is annoying.
Ulthirm
Them going around is annoying not the stops i realized that may come across wrong.
natistar
NOT IN MIAMI THEY DONT. Very frustrating to watch cars zoom with the stop sign out.. I see it daily.
pedanticandpetty
I think that law (at least in CA) is named after my friend's brother who died this way. His parents dedicated years to advocating for it.
everybodyheardabouttheword
In England we have old women who on some occasions ride mobility scooters in fluorescent clothing and actually stop cars with the force
SlimPickinns
Is that even a school bus? Looks like a commercial bus
LurkerOfDarkness
School buses outside America are not dedicated for that sole purpose, they're just some local bus companys bus that won the bid for (1/?)
SlimPickinns
Did not know that. But people stepping out from behind busses like that was something I had drilled into me in drivers ed.
LurkerOfDarkness
Being local school bus, also kids only get a bus in areas without regular commuter buses, that are far from school, rest walks or (2/?)
LurkerOfDarkness
Ride their bikes to school. (3/3)
MrCoolGuy
Judging by the kids with backpacks that got off, I’d say that’s a school bus
LavaAxe
Many countries outside the US don't have specialized school buses but kids travel on ordinary bus routes instead.
Verfolne
This is quite far countryside in Norway, they take what they can get. Most of the school buses do say so in the front, but we are also >
Verfolne
Taught to never cross the road until the bus has left and you have a clear view. Apparantly this kid skipped that class
TheNextHafthorBjornsson
Yeah right? Most people don't stop for those type of buses in US, but school buses usually.
fajere
In Denmark we just teach kids to look for traffic. We're weird, i know O.o
whatusernameisavailable
Same everywhere, but kids will be kids.
Retardedpidgeon
Thats what we do in Norway too, its not always working so great, as you can see in this video.
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
Yes, but children tend not to make sound decisions, which is why they're not allowed to live without supervision.
whatusernameisavailable
Same everywhere, but kids will be kids.
lacole725
Doesn't mean they'll stop
lacole725
Not sure why I'm downvoted for being realistic, you can't trust other people, especially American drivers
InbredMountain
Yea but then the chances of getting hit are about equal to getting hit by someone running a red, as opposed to running into moving traffic.
MothMonsterMan
No but any judge will throw the book at you if that's what you get cited for.
lacole725
Yeah sure but you're assuming people will always stop, Americans are idiots... I know first hand
MothMonsterMan
Running from the police isn't a common issue here.
OfficialBenderRodriguez
Bus driver gets your plate, you gonna have a bad time
HulluSteve
That's a really good idea. I wonder why they haven't done so over here.
LavaAxe
We don't have specialized school buses really. They're mostly ordinary buses doing school duty in the morning, or taxies.
HulluSteve
True dat.

Tsen11
You do this on every road in US?
Kitastrophe
The main road through the town I used to live in was a busy divided highway. All traffic stopped every time the bus picked up a kid.
HighFunctioningAlcoholic
No one actually waits.
jwan
What makes you say that?
Squeezidelic
In canada too.
RoboCoonie
It's the law in every state, we must do it, it's a requirement for licensure, but that doesn't mean that every driver is going to do it.
Assfullofbread
Canada too
TacoPrime
Not on roads on lanes 4 or more. I think on 4 lanes if going with the bus you stop but against you can go? Correct me if wrong
SomeDetroitGuy
You're wrong.
TacoPrime
For Ohio: On a road with four or more traffic lanes, drivers approaching a stopped bus from the opposite direction do not need to stop.
1970sSalsa
Every road that doesn't have some sort of median divider, which is many roads, yes
DetectiveSloth
Yes and some buses even have cameras on the side that will get your license plate if you don't do it.
[deleted]

Klingon00
It's required to know it in order to get a license though...
Alex5855
Buses in Texas have cameras on the side to get license plates

We should have that in CA.

RoboCoonie
LA. We don't stop for shit.
RoboCoonie
We also have a lot of unlicensed drivers who don't know many of the rules of the road. I've seen people closely follow emergency vehicles.
iwishihadanamazingusername
When I rode the school buses on rural roads, we always were told to cross in front of the bus. This way the bus driver had eyes on us.
JoeGrunt
Unless it is your own bus driver that runs over you. Happened to a classmate of mine.
iwishihadanamazingusername
Oh no! We always had that bar that extended out. During the first week this school year, on bus driver almost crashed into me on a rural Rd.
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED2
Even cities
IForgotMyOldAccountsPassword
Yeah it really isn't that big of a deal it's mostly in neighborhoods
OliverKlozov
In Highschool I actually crossed a highway. That sign doesnt mean shit at 60 MPH.
thathawaiianshirtguy
I️ think unless the road is divided by a 3-foot median or something they don’t need to
DrHookah
Divided highways and divided roadways. All other situations must stop. Not that they do..
MothMonsterMan
Its the same for emergency vehicles. As long as the median is devided by a barrier you don't stop
formerlyhobojoe
In Los angeles there is a 50-50 chance it's on the wrong side of the road anyways
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED2
Ha, in ks you stop even with a divider
WhatWaresWouldAWerewordWear
Usually, we don’t on roads that are 4 lanes or more. Buses will normally not stop in those areas.
TacoPrime
Some will I seen it in Ohio
madpoopz
Kids also won't cross in those areas.
thetonestarr
By law in most areas, if there is one full lane between you and the bus, you don't have to stop.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
i live off of one of the busiest roads in my area and the bus's still stop all 4 lanes.
