    But in all honestly - everyone fucks up. I'm sure you have some colleagues who have been equally reckless in their professional lives.

    I get where you're coming from, I do - hate driving in HK so much that I've become paranoid, but ... you also know where I'm coming from. No clue how these mini bus drivers get through the day... saw two mini bus drivers in our estate get into a fist fight because some passengers went and sat in another bus, as bus #1 was not going down their route.

    If I was on that mini-bus I bet that accident wouldn't have happened! I'm on one about once a year and it's white knuckles all the way...I'd have seen the stationary bus and alerted the driver.

    Doesn't surprise me that nobody else did, to be fair, I don't know that he had passengers, but it never fails to amaze me how relaxed people are in these tin cans, no seat-belts, exposed metal everywhere...heads down asleep or playing on their phones...

    Hilarious.

    Hong Kong is a 3rd world city with a tiny international CBD. Of course things like this happen.

    Car drivers are worse than taxi drivers for the number of vehicles involved per million vehicle-kilometres
