    You can never feel safe when you have a Porsche... no I'm not only talking about burglars, I'm talking about buses. Please take a good look to see if you don't park very close to a bus stop, because you might have a very bad suprise when you return to yor car...

    Poor thing...

    Sure the Porsche was parked in the bus stop zone. But that bus was
    clearly out of control from the start - like he floored the accelerator
    or something. Even if the Porsche weren't there, he still took out the
    entire bus stop from sheer speed.

    Weird to say the least. Would love to hear the details of just what
    he did and why.

    I saw that clip a few days after it happened. It was probably about 2008 or 2009.

    The way I remember it from the news reports... the bus driver was having a bad day, people parking at bus stops was his pet peeve, and seeing this Porsche parked there just caused him to snap. The "official" excuse from him and the bus company was that he accidentally hit the accelerator rather than the brake. However, they were sued by the insurer of the Porsche and the courts deemed that the ramming had been deliberate. The bus company repaired the Porsche, and they refused to discuss the incident any further. No idea if the bus driver was fired or not.

    Interestingly, while all that was playing out in the courts, the council sent the woman who left her Porsche there a parking ticket - using the CCTV footage as evidence. :p

    All the best,
    Andrew.
