The funny thing about this is that I was actually on a city bus that was rear ended by a car. It felt like the bus went over a speed bump. I had no idea that a collision had taken place until the driver told us. Any bus rider claiming injuries after such an incident is a liar.

So... you blur out the phone number, but leave the email address for all to see?
