from the left. Hard to miss that big, orange vehicle.

At the end it looks like he's trying to blame the traffic cone and the worker who placed it there.

That guy has to be one of the worst drivers ever.

I was following a bus in the city, near a school no less. A dude in a Mercedes decided to pass me on the right while I was stopped at an intersection red light. The bus had its right turn signal on and would have to swing wide to make the turn. Mr. can't wait goes around me an down the side of the bus. Thankfully no one was hurt but I laughed to see how much damage the Mercedes suffered.

NY is now allowing cameras on the stop swing arms on bus's.
