Inquest heard from bus passenger who saw the child "jumping at the sound of the horn" and then he "seemed to be losing control", however a police investigator told the court there was "no evidence" the boy veered into the driver's path having lost control
Reading the story… it sucks for everyone involved. This is one reason I never honk at motorcycles or bicyclist.
Horns are a hell of a lot louder when you’re not in a vehicle. There is really no such thing as a ‘friendly’ beep.
