Got rear-ended by a motherf*cking huge school bus yesterday. Bus was doing atleast 40-50 km/h.
Happened on Ittihad Road at around 12 pm.
This is the 2nd time someone has hit my car without it being my fault.
F my life.

Damage isn't that bad considering that after the impact the bus pushed my car along atleast 15m. The brake pedal was buried into the floor as my car skid along.

Exact stuff going through my mind: I'll f*ck the bus driver up if my car hits the one in front and gets squashed like a soda can.

I was busy minding my own business. There was slight traffic and I was coasting in my lane, hadn't changed lanes prior.
