That takes scary possibilities of intentionally hitting the tree, and of tree losing control and hitting the bus out of the picture. Good job, Sherlock!

When driving always deem trees as hazards...

It's from LOTR......trees do actually walk..... i've seen it...... 

 

this driver was 100% doing everything by the book!!!  possibly 2 km under the speed limit.

 

then Mr. Tree decided to try to stretch his roots...

No, not at all; he unfortunately lost control of the vehicle through no fault of his own. Some vehicles are just like that, very hard to control. Horses, chickens, goats, alligators, and women can be that way too. 

 

Statistics show that most drivers are in full control when the crash their vehicles. They just have a different idea of fun. Some people are just like that. 

 

You are too cynical. Some people are just like that. ????

Some of them are drunk as well, staggering and tripping over their own roots!

Probably..

Why do I always feel sorry for the trees in situations like this ?   Quietly growing in its own time and an idiot drives a bus in to it.

Those darn trees...

I still think the power poles beat the trees.
