What strikes me as more odd is the passengers just sitting there for the duration of the event, which, from the article, seems to have gone on for at least a few minutes.

No one jumped up, ripped him out of the seat and slammed on the breaks? Thats the crazy part


The reaction from the passengers is completely normal.

I agree.

As do I.

I often wonder why Im the only person on the bus that swears out loud about the crappy driving skills of bus drivers.

A couple of observations I made with regard to this.

1/ A lot of the buses use a manual shift stick - it seems that some people are not very good at his type of driving...

2/ Koreans are less prone to criticise than we are and therefore less likely to intercede.

My girlfriend was in a bus that was rolled (in the centre of a city) a few years back, and almost lost her leg. She swears it was just the bus driver being a dick.

I think when people do the same thing day in and out, the repetition can become very stressful and they often do one of three things; go with it, take more risk to stimulate themselves (especially men), or snap.
