Everyone knows the "woah woah woah" adds 10% more braking force. Great driving!

Coach driver did great. Glad the traffic behind was paying attention too! Also looks like the lorry driver did well going onto the hard shoulder anticipating the coach to utilise the lane. Fair play to both of them!

I was 110% sure that bus was gonna make impact. But those breaks in the last 3 seconds just transformed to their final form.

woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah woah WOAH

A reminder that if that driver had been distracted for even a single second that could have been an entirely different situation. Well done.

Fantastic driving Sir!!! A well deserved round of applause from your passengers. As a retired coach driver myself I wish we had, had cameras back then. Well done and keep up the good work and stay safe.

Probably the single best emergency brake I’ve ever witnessed.

[peterkamau]

The 4 drivers effectively saved that Golf car.
The transit trucker was giving way for bus swerve, the regular trucker gave way fir that saloon to lane change, the saloon driver who quickly changed lanes and gave way, and most importantly the bus driver. Wow.

Surprised everyone thought the danger was over when he came to a stop. I would have been bracing in fear of being rear-ended.

[monberg]

I only realised at the end that he was driving a bus. Mad respect for stopping in time.

[darraghtormey]

Every coach driver I've known have been the most chilled people you can possibly imagine. Nothing seems to rattle them.

[garethjones]

As a Hgv driver myself, i commend the driving skill of the coach driver, a true professional.

[edonslow]

I count 9.5 lines passed on the road from the moment of breaking, which is about 85 meters, and stopped in about 6 seconds. Pretty impressive.

[Abgefahren]

The clapping is awesome. I hope they didn't got rear ended :D

[charlesj.easleyii]

Bro is exactly the type of person that should be driving a bus. Kept his cool no matter the outcome

[michaelshennan]

Bet there's more skid marks inside the Golf driver pants than on the road!

[diegoperez]

Similar thing happened to us on M3 a few years back. Got to say that coach drivers in the UK are pros!

[donfink]

Who else noted that the HGV driver on the inside, had taken to the hard shoulder effectively giving the nearside lane to the coach driver had he chosen to use it.

[chidubem]

This is like in the movies when a car is speeding towards the end of a cliff, but it manages to just stop at the tip of the cliff.

[karrotop]

Everyone clapping was so wholesome. Bet the brakes on the bus were a bit warm after that one!

Seeing the driver in the last few seconds, watching the bus bear down on him, grimacing and bracing for the impact gave me chills
