I was part of an amusing incident once ... driving down a freeway and 
come accross a major 'snarl-up'. highway speed to about 40kph in no time.

Turns out there's a school bus (no kids on board) at the front, 
travelling nearly highway speed with it's red lights flashing. People 
were completely unsure about what to do... created mayhem.

People slowed right down until they realized that the bus driver was 
oblivious, most people then passed, waved, gestured, hooted, etc. but 
that bus driver just kept on going causing mayhem...

They could have used some device to say "Hey, idiot, turn off the damn 
lights!".
