Nothing like a nice slipstream to get you to work in a hurry. Not buses so much - they have a nasty habit of stopping! But something big and heavy is perfect as it's less likely to change speed quickly. The other thing is to make sure you've got an exit to one side in case they hit the brakes and you need to slip round the side. And it goes without saying, not if you're brakeless!
