Videos What happens in a situation like this?

Entitled prick blocks a bus because she supposedly wasn't let on. A fire truck is behind - full lights blaring but refuses to move. No space for the truck to pass due to the congestion.

Would anything at all be able to be done? It's times like this that really piss and stress out firefighters, and I'm sorry people like this exist. Hopefully a big charge came her way, but nothing new as of yet as this happened yesterday I believe.

I was on a bus in Italy once and we stopped because somebody illegally parked their Fiat in a way that prevented the bus from rounding a tight corner. The bus driver opened the door and a half-dozen guys got off the bus, flipped the car over onto the sidewalk to clear the route, got back on the bus, and we continued on our way.

Cant bus driver arent allowed to let passengers exit the bus at non stops if it isnt an emergency.

If a passenger did come out and knock some sense into that girl the bus driver isn't allowed to let that person back in without some potential repercussions.

And there is a fire truck with its lights on behind the bus that probably needs the bus to move out of it's way. Think that constitutes as an emergency

There's an emergency vehicle behind them with lights blaring, it's the definition of an emergency.

u/giggitygoo123 Jun 02 '25

It looks like it's pulled over though. A responding truck would be centered in the lane, or creeping towards oncoming lane (not in a lane full of parked vehicles).

An emergency within the bus itself, genius, such as a fire or a hostile threat.

u/InternationalPie7229 Jun 02 '25

Na no emergency here they just don’t want to sit in the traffic and their lunch is getting cold….

A fire truck with lights and sirens behind you specifically is an emergency

u/Doomgloomya Jun 03 '25

Is that an emergency to the driver and other passengers? Nope. They are safe inside.

Let me tell you a story where i may or may have not participated.

2012, Lisbon on a narrow street. Tram got blocked. After a few moments an ambulance arrives. No one was appearing.

Tram passengers and some bystanders try to move the car by lifting the rear. It proved hard due lack of grip area and the one of the wheels was inside of a hole of the sidewalk.

We see one of the ambulance dispatchers run dow the street, he decided to run to the destination instead of waiting. It has to be serious.

Someone has an idea, flip the car. More people joined. Car flipped. As people cheered a police motorcycle appears. People stopped cheering... As the tram and all vehicles behind move, the police talked to 2 or 3 bystanders. Told everyone something that translated roughly would be "nothing to see here, move along"

No, lawsuits. Just wait for police. Hopefully they won't shoot her, there's a lot of witnesses.

Good luck finding a judge or a jury to award damages or find you guilty of battery for pushing her out of the way.

Just take care to not seriously injure her as you forcibly make her move, and you'll be fine.

You wanna be stuck in court for what could be months, for something avoidable like this, be my guest.
