Volvo drivers have a reputation over here. Don't know about them in the states?
Here's some impression on where the reputation comes from

I harbor a deep distrust of Volvo drivers, but I never knew it was a widespread thing... They drive like they're constantly avoiding an accident - but going about it in the stupidest manner possible.

The Fish is the logo from alpinestars, not the most bland brand of motorcycle wear....
Perhaps the driver was used to driving this buslane on his bike.
Oh yes, bus lane! Another famous Dutch way of keeping cars out of some road meant for busses. And as you can see: they do work fine. Just the fact that a volvo driver became the unwanted vitim here was made me laugh

Just wondering about putting them back together considering the current manufacturing techniques and materials being used.
