You crazy school bus driver, please improve your professional standards

I just got back from work; let’s keep it brief. I worked late tonight, until around ten o’clock. My car was heading from Shidao Jiekou towards Shidao Street. As I passed Muyun An, a school bus came coming from the opposite lane in reverse, then stopped in the slow lane on our side as well. It stopped right at a steep slope. I was driving on the fast lane, going downhill at a fairly high speed. I thought to myself that such school bus drivers are utterly reckless – driving in reverse and stopping in reverse. It’s because of drivers like them that there are so many accidents involving school buses in China; so many young lives are ruined because of you. If that were all, I would have just cursed them in my mind. But just a second or two before I passed that bus, its doors suddenly opened, and two children jumped out of it. I was terrified; I swerved to the left, staying just inside the yellow line to avoid hitting them. Afterward, I really wanted to go back and beat that driver. How can you even call yourself a driver? Other cars might not matter, but you’re driving a school bus with so many children on board. Have you been hit by a donkey? You idiot! The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. If an accident happens with the construction vehicle I’m driving tonight and someone gets killed, it would be as if we killed a little chick. Who will bear the consequences? Everyone has elders and children at home; no one wants an accident to happen, especially when it involves middle or high school students who are going to evening classes, with their parents waiting at home for them to return safely. How can there be idiots like you driving school buses? I’m so angry. I really hope that all drivers will improve their skills and professional ethics, so as to travel safely, for themselves and their families
