Scallywag13 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 My dad is a part time coach driver and over the weekend was doing the London run. Whilst travelling down the motorway at 60mph he saw a pheasant fly out of some reeds, next thing he new the bird hit the coach windscreen, came through the windscreen shot down the isle before hitting the back window and dropping to the floor! It is so lucky that nobody was hurt - a little to the right it would have hit my dad or a little to the left it would have hit one of his passengers. Thankfully nobody was hurt other than the poor Pheasant - R.I.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully nobody was hurt other than the poor Pheasant - R.I.P Hmmmm, I hit a pheasant on the M1 last year in a transit van when I was doing 70 and I can assure you of two things. 1) The bird died instantly 2) Depsite the speed the bird hit, it didn't penetrate the windscreen, and if by some miracle it did, there is no way it would have then carried on a further 30ft in a perfectly straight line to hit the back window.

Kerrangaroo Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 they not even native to uk imorted for toffs to shoot, if ever there's an accident blame the huntin, shootin,and fishin landed gentry. Alternatively we could blame the Romans for importing a food source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadingNorth Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 A bird came through a laminated wind screen?? How fast was the bird flying ? They can fly at close to forty miles an hour, but it's unlikely that a bird would be aiming head-on towards a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
