Grooves there is a world of difference between flying a plane and driving a London bus.
Bus drivers make around £500 a week and TFL advertise with the comment "anyone with a full driving license can make a great bus driver" - pilots don't have to deal with cyclist...
My point is you can't put yourself in the drivers shoes, the same way the next bus driver who takes an offensive line against you in the next 48hrs can't possibly get in your head.. fuck if he could he'd fking hide!
We share the road in town with a fair % of people not fit to be on the road. that will always be the case
I don't have any time for bus drivers and i don't care for them. just as i don't care for the Previas tagged with the blue sticker of death, hive vans with drivers who have no concept of the vehicles width, white vans... and Taxis during rush hour always forcing a space.
If you think like these lot will do something stupid you will one day be sadly proved right. so ride accordingly
The only reason to go on the attach is when this is done with intent. Like with Minh a. this driver is trying to do his job. Shit i know Drs who have bad days and they have life's in their hands?
