Humour - Don't pick on a bus!

cyclonebri1

There are good ones and bad ones, the good ones are very good and very courteous, but the idiots that insist on pulling out and signalling when the following car has committed to passing them are just plain turds.

Their manual must be written Chinese style, ie, manouever, signal mirror :rotfl:

What people don't seem to realise is that it's quite difficult to stop a bus if you cut in front of them, they're quite big and heavy!

You want to see how many d ickheads think it's great fun to slam on in front of me after cutting me up when I'm pulling 44 tonnes. :mad:

One things for sure, it isn't going to hurt me.

Whilst you have my support on your issue, as in if you duck infront of 44 tonnes of whatever myou can kiss your !!! goodbye, the problem here is not with hgv's but buses?.

There is a world of difference between a 40 toner at speed and a bus at a bus stop, no? I think they call it "respect",. and it has to work both ways. What was said in the op's post? 70 crashes but none my fault?, my a**e :mad:

Well I always let buses out if they signal, and yes even when I a taxi driver, there are so many inconsiderate drivers out there that a little courtesy never hurts. Still that's me

There's plenty of taxi drivers that stop for everything but hey if the meters running(;

That might just be in Nottingham but seriously some of them slow down so much when a lights on green praying it goes red so the can wangle and extra 50p out of you

Buses just pull out in front of you all over the place round here. Had them pull out of a lay by bus stop and cross two lanes of traffic within inches of my front bumper before.

I don't know if it's fair to call him an idiot reading that:

Arriva Midlands removed Mr Connolly from his position, and following a full investigation, the bus driver was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. He was later cleared of the charge by a jury in Wolverhampton Crown Court earlier this year.
At a two-day Employment Tribunal held in October, Mr Connolly maintained that the crash was not caused by his actions, but instead by a mechanical fault

Seems the jury believed him, so I'd be asking questions about the mechanical condition of that bus myself and the 'idiot' responsible for maintaining it.
