He ignored an alarm that went off twice and didn't correct course. Stevenson, from Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, admitted dangerous driving and was banned for 28 months. He was ordered to wear an electronic tag for six months.
Current technology makes that an iffy prospect. We already have things like self-driving cars occasionally coming to a stop in the middle of a freeway due to some nonexistent obstacle. It’s not a common issue, I believe, but it’s still a dangerous one.
Even crazier, this is the second bus to do this. Another bus hit this same bridge in 2023 and also sheared it's roof off. I was especially freaked out by the two people hanging on the back of the bus.
It remained unclear, since they found 17 heads but only 12 torsos. They've been trying to pin down whether one of the passengers was simply traveling with additional heads in tow.
20 passengers injured.
Ouch, not good. That takes a lot of the humor out of it.
I'd say it skims the top of the humor off.
Three in critical care. Hope they throw the book at the driver.
Put that bridge in the clank
Yeah, he's not playing with a full deck er!

Ironic that the technology in the gps tag he was forced to wear is the same technology that could have saved the bus from hitting the bridge.
lets see if he ignores those beeps as well when he goes somewhere he cant.
Electronic tag that shocks him... To not do idiotic things like this? /s
So they can check if he's driving when he appears to be in a vehicle.
Take that /s off! It's a genius idea!
That's what they call a multi scalping
Could be worse. Could be raining.
In England? Chance in a million.
Whole video showed folks laying on the ground
That’s what I call one helluva lawsuit
New fear unlocked: riding on top of a double decker.
Maybe it’s time vehicles have proximity sensors adjusted for the height of the vehicle
The bus did. There were alarms going off that the driver ignored.
I should have clarified, sensors that apply the brakes like cars have.
That automatically apply the brakes.

Maybe an IQ test of some kind before the engine will start.
insurance is going to love this
It happened back in July. Here’s the full story
Thanks for the link.

CLEEAAAAARED IT!
WAHOO!!!
"Ok and now on the left you'll see the home of none other than "xxxxxxxxx" "
And coming up if you look to the right you'll see a very famous statue, anyone know who it portrays?
Looks like a single decker to me
Nope, still double deck. The upper Deck is just unsheltered now
It’s a convertible
Easy way to make an open air double decker
MY HAT!
"Don't lose your head"
I thought Jane Mansfield said that!
Is this one of those site seeing busses now?
How many decapitated?
It remained unclear, since they found 17 heads but only 12 torsos. They've been trying to pin down whether one of the passengers was simply traveling with additional heads in tow.
I will instruct the headless horsemen that their heads have been located.
And if a double decker bus...
Happened in Miami to a bus going to the airport. Think someone died if I remember right. Bus driver got prison time.
Holy shit there were people up there
That is an odd place for a Ring camera.
I’m pretty sure one of the people on the back of the bus is missing a head
Damn that was like a hot knife through butter.
I was expecting a Final Destination level of carnage.
Might wanna head back and do a headcount
At least the driver told them to duck
Dont they have a set rute they have to drive?
When you forget the route and take a shortcut to catch up
Don’t these buses drive on a designated route?
Can you make this bus a convertible? Driver: sure thing boss!
