Professional only means paid to do that specific activity. Not that they're better at it than anyone else
PhilDAS-
Absolutely, I agree - it can just sometimes seem that being one means you must be an awesome driver, so people might think that because they are a professional driver, whatever they do and their interpretation of the road must be correct.
Anyway, this morning's commute - crisp and chilly with a warming sun, excellent bus driver behind me up a hill, looking forward to ever lighter evening rides home.

I'm yet to be convinced that the term 'professional drivers' indicates anything at all in terms of skill/awareness/road craft/courtesy/general common sense when driving. Everyone on the road, cyclists included, is just a fallible bag of organs hopefully making good decisions most of the time. But that lorry - ha.
