I had a close call today also some prick couldnt work out what the arrows on the road mean. Caught it on phone which I use as my dashcam I just dont know how to start uploading vids.

Mine involved nearly being driven into a field at 80mph overtaking 2 vans and a lorry and one of them pulling out to overtake the lorry, from 50mph, without looking when I was 5 metres behind him. Was along side him and the lorry before I could slow down enough! He didn't even seem to acknowledge what he very nearly caused!
 
As a professional driver (psv) my advice is to always drive defensively and expect everybody on the road to drive like idiots. You won't be disappointed but you will be prepared.

I had it out with a double decker bus the other day, so called professional driver decided to drive along side me to my right in the lane next to me, pull along side and open his passenger entrance doors, lets say words were exchanged between both parties!

I made a bus reverse once, that was fun. I was driving around some parked cars on my side of the road, I was half way past and a bus pulled up and waited for me (since I was on his side of the road). He was creeping forward as I approached him and he went forward a bit too far not leaving enough room for me to get between the parked car and him. The bus driver was waving at me to go through, but I said there isn't room, at which point he got off the bus, walked round and saw there wasn't enough room, got back on and reversed about a foot without a word.

That was a fun day (y)

If you use your vehicle as a weapon, be it to push your way through or intimidate someone, not only do you deserve to lose your job but your licence also. Remember a bus driver has PASSENGERS on board. It's the same as assault with a deadly weopon

Assault with a deadly weapon hahahahaha thats funny. Walk into ur local cop shop n say the exact statement u jus made . Ull get laughed out.

Im pretty sure uv broken the law whilst driving at sm point aswell does that mean u shud have ur licence n job taken away aswell.

Also I dnt remember the origional post actually stating wot the bus driver did apart from opening his doors n them both arguing

Death by dangerous driving now has the same sentence for Manslaughter...

so in the eyes of the law it is.

Plus a weapon is anything that can kill someone. if you kill or harm someone with anything its classed a weapon. So surely by that definition, hitting someone with a car is in theory using a weapon



But agree we dont know what the driver did, other be unprofessional with his language...

I agree that doing it out of malice is wrong however I've seen a bus driver put children's lives at risk to make a point with a fellow road user. I had no problem removing him from his job and would do it again in similar circumstances. I know your a bus driver and understand you think everyone is out to frustrate you but a bus is a very intimidating vehicle and the drivers are supposed to be the professionals.

PS you seem to have a problem with your keyboard as you keep missing out letters from your posts ;)

No because he pulled along side and started mouthing off because I was apparently in his way.

I'm not a public servant doing a job with 60 customers on board though ;)

If he loses his temper like that who will be next? A customer who he assaults?

So if I wave a knife at someone in an argument but don't use it on them I'm ok then?

Not to dissimilar tbh.
