High school students from Pennsylvania banded together to take down an angry bus driver who allegedly slammed the brakes to teach them a lesson.
The Greater LaTrobe Senior High School students who were riding the bus claimed they suffered "concussions, nose bleeds, hurt necks and backs, and headaches" as a result of the abrupt stop.
The teenage passengers formed a TikTok channel, called @unanimousaccount3, and have so far posted four different video clips exposing the disgruntled bus driver who had allegedly physically hurt them.
In one of the videos, the driver can be seen reflected in the rearview mirror and berating the students after the bus came to a sudden halt.
@unanimousaccount3 Bus driver got mad at kids and slammed on breaks. Kids have concussions, bloody noses, hurt necks and backs, and headaches. #greaterlatrobehighschool
When a student informed the driver a fellow classmate got a bloody nose from the sudden stop, the driver barked, "big deal!"

While some viewers expressed familiarity with teens and their boisterous tendencies, commenters in the threads were livid an adult let his anger take over and neglected the safety of passengers.

A student was heard talking to someone appearing to be an administrative staff member who entered the bus and describing to him what the driver had done.
"He slammed on the brakes, all of our necks got injured and she has a bloody nose. That's how hard [he slammed]."
"I don't even feel safe in this bus anymore," said one student, while another chimed in, "I don't feel comfortable riding with this dude. Let's just get off. Everyone go, everyone go, let's just get off."
The staff member then told the students to sit back down.
While it is unclear what transpired before the intense exchange, the bus driver was heard shouting at a student who is unseen in a third clip.
"I don't care who else you have, I don't put up with it," the driver said. "You're in a world of trouble girl. I don't care who it was."
The girl asserted she "didn't do anything," to which the driver told her he "doesn't care" and demanded that she "better rat them out."
People were disturbed by the driver's behavior.

The driver continued berating the students, saying:
"You're the worst kids I ever picked up."
When a student countered, "No, don't you talk to me like that," the driver yelled back, "You want respect, you gotta earn it!"

The Daily Dot said they reached out to the students on TikTok and to the administrators of the Greater LaTrobe Senior High School via email, but they have yet to hear back from either.
