Here's the math: 30MPH = 44 FPS (approximation). Therefore a 4000 pound
car moving at 30 MPH is carrying 176,160 Foot Pounds per Second of kinetic
energy. A bus is a lot bigger than a car. And a lot less maneuverable.

This whole scenario is one of the reasons that police come down so hard on
cyclists. As one cop I met said,
"I'm tired of picking up the pieces."

There's a pool hall saying that's been around forever: "You can't be lucky
forever and you can't be stupid for free."
