good thing it had the safety speakers installed 

[toofarnorth]

What is it that make folk want to ride these buses ?   Look at that fine range of speakers , I also wonder if the driver was a quiet chap that did his job with care and consideration for his passengers or a look at me and my bus , wait 'til I crank up the music .

I think that maybe there are a few letters too many in the web site name or maybe www.watatwat.com would have been more appropriate!

The Ferrari+Johnnie Walker stickers on the bus meaning driver is neither speeding nor drinking.

It looks like a nice party bus that unfortunately had a driver who couldn't stay awake! It's time to eliminate all these unscrupulous drivers!

I think the one in the middle  with the least obscured windscreen leads   the other 2 follow about 3 meters behind even at 120 KPH...perhaps that's why they keep "falling off" the road ????

If you open the link you will see a photo of the bus is on its side , all the other photos are taken after it has been hauled upright.

Yes indeed. It was the Johnnie Walker "ad" that caught my attention and wondered whether the driver was a fan!

The power of the amulet provides 360° vision, though most ignore the obvious benefits of such agency.

I think you're onto something there as another thread is extolling the virtues of moving to Latin America.  I reckon these are the actual TV refugee buses.

At least one bus a week ends up in this default position????

Perhaps the photo was taken after the bus was uprighted by responders/tow equipment. I am not sure as I wasn't there, but I've learned not to base anything on a photo or second hand report.
