I've had quite a few positive experiences with Bristol bus drivers actually. I had one not that long ago thats a bit hard to describe, but basically a bus behind me kind of sped up a bit and almost pulled along side me where it wasn't really wide enough to pass. It turned out she was actually doing so to dissuade a driver (who probably couldn't see me) from pulling out of a side street into me. I didn't really work out what had happened till it was too late to give a big thumbs up, and probably just looked cross :-(

Meant to post this earlier as a positive vibes type of thing, before @skidlidsid's tale (best of luck for a good resolution) but - my mood was perked up massively on a soggy Bristol commute this morning. Nice wet ride (but mudflaps for the win, dry shoes) along mostly a shared path, approaching a full-body-soak potential of a puddle on the road, and the double decker bus coming up behind me slows and goes outwards around the puddle to avoid drenching me. Driver & I exchanged thumbs up and big grins - obviously a decent bloke/10
