Bus drivers and big vehicle drivers are one of the best and safest drivers on the road. They are trained and drive more hours than the average driver. That being said, it's not too hard to over judge your clearance especially in big vehicle. If you want to make a valid bad comment attempt to drive a Bus or big vehicle of that size. Then you can comment.
@7LoveWolves You try taking a PVC bus test mutch harder than a car test and you would proberbly automaticly fail you can't just get in a bus and drive it like you can a car
Anyone ever been past the depot at Westbourne Park? Seems like all hell lets loose there with buses pulling in/ out of the depot. The depot marshalls yelling frantically at drivers to get their bus out or to get it into the depot asap, drivers who have clocked off their shift simply stand outside the depot for entertainment and yell at the drivers in the buses..... all bad for the blood pressure me thinks!
@mikeymorgan -car drivers,mostly uninsured, hesitant fuckers at lights, cant keep in lane, cant stop/creep at junctions, middle lane twats, aggressive, incompetant, think they still own cities, too slow, too fast ,too many. -in summary Car Cunties
@TESCOSGRESHAM that is not safer than 8 in Lothian buses its actually in Edinburgh and its like first class in planes comparing to encomy in no. 3 ,8 is silent.
Recently I took part in a counselling programme for school bus drivers in the UK.
Many participants talked about the profound sexual envy they felt whenever teenage couples made out while on board, and how bizarre and brutal rape fantasies constantly plagued their minds.
We issued a final report that contained graphic, clear warnings of the dangers of this situation. However, the report was silenced by county hall politicians, and the programme swiftly ended.
Friend , you would not get me on a bicycle for love nor money (I'd be searching for my crash helmet) on a MOTORBIKE at least you can get out of the way quicker. I loved mine for 10 years
Until the government put paid to that. 2yrs on 2yrs off Re-dick-ul-ass BUT I HATE BUSES WHY? because , take yesterday , waited , waited ABOUT 20 minutes etc. IF IT HAD BEEN in Siberia , I WOULD HAVE NEEDED DE-FROSTING LOL .
"Setting the benchmark everywhere". Maybe you should drive a bus then. People always complain to bus drivers when something goes wrong, yet when they get it right they don't get complimented...or even a thank you...!
I , my dear sir , was referring to the T.v show , First Shown in the year 1962. As for the person/persons you refer , I am not acquainted. Nor I may point out , shall I ever be.
Bring back the horse & cart , all is forgiven. I would (as far as transports concerned) lived in the days of the wild west. NO waiting hours for a bus THAT'S packed solid. OR miserable bus drivers
with faces like paupers. Naw! just jump on a horse and go anywhere at any time. IT can't be any slower or faster than it is to day , what with waiting , traffic jams etc. give or take???
@kentcyclist Cyclists don't need to pay road tax, because bikes are not motorised. Also, cyclists are not responsible for most accidents, ignorant drivers who don't check their mirrors are.
@xA6fhYZ4 but when a driver gradually slows his car and gently turns to the left in front of a cyclist, it is the driver who is at fault, because he didn't check his mirrors to see if the cyclist was there, and he didn't signal to let anyone else know that he turning
@25151206 No your wrong. Undertaking is illegal in the UK. The cyclist would be at fault as he would be undertaking the car turning left thereby breaking the law.
@avfc85 A driver who doesn't signal his turn is also breaking the law. It's not the fault of the cyclist who cycles on the side of the road if a driver doesn't signal
@kentcyclist So basically you're saying that EVERYONE should pay road tax because everyone uses the road? Should that be extended to pedestrians, as well, because they cross the road?
@25151206 Stop being pedantic. Bike riders should pay road tax. They use the road everyday but yet pay nothing. Not fair. Your point about pedestrians is ridiculous and you know it.
@avfc85 Cycling is a recreational mode of transport, friendly to the environment, and good for the cyclists health. The british government want people to be healthy and want to do all they can to reduce carbon emissions, especially in London, so what would be the point in charging cyclists to use the roads? If cyclists are charged road tax, there would be fewer cyclists on the road. Not only that, a lot of cyclists are underage, as well, and have no means to pay any form of tax.
@25151206 good for the cyclists health!!! r u kidding me? the amount of fumes that u breath. plus, forgive me for being a bit biased against cyclists, but they really don't seem to think that the rules of the road apply to them. when was the last time that u saw any of them stop at a red light. u would have thought that with the amount that are being run over, people would get the message and stop cycling, but no, apparently there are a lot of people with death wishes
@poplova A cyclist riding upright, is breathing in less fumes than a car driver. A couple of feet of hight makes a difference to the amount taken in. Also motorists spend much more time in jams than cyclists, where fumes are worse. Cyclists are much less likely to suffer from respiratory illness than motorists anyway, which is why they LIVE LONGER than drivers, even accounting for accidents. only about 4% cyclists involved in collisions, are injured because they jumped a light.
@zivkovicable and how many accidents do they nearly cause by doing that! i've seen at least one occasion where it's been a red light, the cyclist, of course, was going too fast, and nearly crashed into someone crossing the road!
@poplova One pedestrian every three years or so, is killed by a cyclist on UK roads. While this is definitely one too many, motorists kill about ten EVERY DAY.
Holland has the largest number of cyclists, & the best pedestrian safety record in the developed world.
@zivkovicable i'm sure than in holland the majority of cyclists aren't colour blind. they know how to differentiate red from green. for some reason, that's one thing that london cyclists don't seem to be able to do. they really think that they rule the road
@poplova Do you think that Dutch people are born with superior colour recognition skills than Lomdoners? Really? Or is it because they build their road infrastructure giving cyclists & peds priority over cars.
You don't seem to be engaging with any arguments here. Just throwing out one ignorant, false statement after another. You think cyclists are unsafe? Provide some evidence or go away.
@poplova Have you ever considere the amount of fumes you breath just by living in london? Even though roads do get congested, it's still better to cycle through it, rather than just sitting in it, because your body will be constantly moving. The excercise alone more than compensates for the fumes breathed in traffic. Also, there are so many places and roads in london where you don't need to breath the fumes of drivers.
@poplova Also, the only cyclists who don't stop at red lights are the new and inexperienced cyclists, because they don't understand how obeying the rules of the road will save their lives. Experienced cyclists know from experience how easy it is to get into an accident on the roads and how easy it is for them to lose their lives because someone wasn't paying attention, or because someone was being stupid.
@25151206 as i said before. if u come to london, you will see that's not the case at all. i see on a daily basis quite how many inexperienced AND experienced cyclists skip red lights. they just don't care.
@poplova I grew UP in london, and I've been cycling on londons roads since I was 7. I know from experience that cyclists are not "dangerous" on londons roads, as you've said to zivkovicable. Drivers are often more dangerous than cyclists on the roads, by overtaking too close to and tailgating cyclists, which is often an unnerving experience.
@poplova Also, pedestrians are more dangerous than cyclists because they step out randomly into the roads without looking both ways or listening for oncoming traffic. I've seen this happen way too many times, and on some occassions, they step out right in front of you, so that you don't have enough time to warn them of your presence, swerve around them, or brake.
@poplova Also, most experienced cyclists(people who've been cycling for more than 5 years) WILL stop at red lights. Most unexperienced cyclists will try to jump red lights because they don't know the highway code or think that they'll get to their destination faster if they do. The only times I've seen experienced cyclists jump red lights is when it was 100% absolutely safe to do so, i.e. no junctions ahead or behind and no traffic on the road in any direction. Even then, it's rare
@poplova By the way, from the way you speak, it sounds like you're just a pedestrian who uses public transport to get around london. You don't have a car, bike or any other vehichle of your own. If you did, then you woulwould know that cars and bigger vehichles are far more dangerous than cyclists. If pedestrians step out into the road without looking and get knocked down, then it's the pedestrians fault for not looking. Not the drivers fault, or the cyclists.
@25151206 i'm done with talking to idiots like you ok. yes of course cars are more dangerous than cyclists. i'm not disputing that. that is the "excuse" that cyclists like you use for running red lights. bikes are slow, so it doesn't matter. IT DOES MATTER! RED IS RED, WHETHER UR ON A BIKE OR CAR!!!
@poplova when did I ever say "bikes are slow so it doesn't matter"? or use the speed and size of the bike as an excuse for running red lights? And what makes me an idiot? The fact that you can't think of anything else in order to prove me to be a "stupid, foolish lawbreaking cyclist"? Guess what, I abide by the law in everything I do, and if I were stupid or foolish, you would have "won" this debate already and wouldn't have had to resort to name calling.
@25151206 well i admit, i don't know how law abiding/non law abiding cyclists are where you are, and i believe that u are a law abiding cyclist. all i can say is that u'd have a shock if u saw how cyclists behave in london
@poplova If you'd read my previous comments, you'd know that I actually am from London, and have lived there my whole life, (though, I moved away from london almost 2 years ago now) and you'd also know that I've been cycling in London for the past 17 years of my life. I also worked as a cycle courier for a while. Believe me, I know how cyclists behave on Londons roads.
@poplova The vast majority of them obey the laws and the highway code, primarily for their own safety, because cycling in london can be an extremely frightening experience at times, especially in places such as marylebone raod, oxford street, and Tottenham court road.
@poplova The main danger to cyclists in these areas are primarily, but not limited to larger vehichles such as buses, coaches, bendy buses(29, for example) trucks, lorries, and white van men(because they don't have a rear view mirror, just wing mirrors)
@poplova Also, on marylebone road, a lot of drivers can get very aggressive, arrogant and inconsiderate towards cyclists, especially at rush hour, when the whole place packs up, and space is at a premium. I'm not saying that all drivers are like this or that cyclists are saints or anything, I'm just saying that cycling in london, whilst an enjoyable and healthy experience, can also be quite dangerous at certain times and locations.
@poplova The trick is seeing dangers ahead of you before they happen, and reacting in a way that will stop the accident from taking place to begin with. (Surely you would have covered this in your driving theory test, right?)
@poplova While a very few cyclists will run a red light if the way is clear or if they're going too fast to stop, there is only a small proportion of cyclists who will actually do that, because running red lights, especially for cyclists, could mean serious injuries, or even death, and most cyclists use bikes because they enjoy the freedom that it brings, so very few would put that at risk.
I had a double decker drive down my road which is next to the A3 and is a single lane road and took about an hour to do a '3' point turn. The best thing about it was the bus was packed. I wish i'd recorded it now.
@mrmagicroundcircle Well , I suppose , them two (Steptoe & son) being a couple of clowns.... ,maybe , you would have preferred "Smoke on the water" by Deep Purple....Naw! that wouldn't fit either would it?
@athenasword1 How dare you refer to Albert Edward Ladysmith Steptoe and his most hon'ble son Harold Albert Kitchener Steptoe as them two a couple of clowns
City bus drivers have a pretty tough job, I wouldn't wanna do it anyway. Some of them have what feels like fighter-pilot reactions if you're sitting at the front though, bombing it through tiny gaps and tailgating other vehicles (usually other busses) crazily close, yet rarely ever actually hitting them...
I am quite capable of spelling properly and have a responsible job 'driving school buses'. I have not criticised any individual with my comment, it is directed at local authorities/highways agencies etcetera who do not maintain roads to a good standard, fail to stop people parking in bus stops, fail to invest in good roads for all, such as straightening out some dangerous bends and trimming back hedges so the full road width can be used
@shrubbie1 Nice comeback, lol. Sorry bout that. I thought you were just some uneducated internet retard who knows nothing about everything, I didn't realise you were just taking the piss.
@makjac46 Stagecoach Fife drivers do really well in Rosyth with even tighter bends, and 13.7m long Scania OmniLinks, but even in a SWB London decker, its not easy to go round some turns - in OMSI the Bus Simulator I am always clipping kerbs, lol. But I am good at "bombing it through tiny gaps and tailgating other vehicles (usually other buses) crazily close, yet rarely ever actually hitting them" as cl998 said
who is the sad twat you immediately films via a mobile phone a minor incident like this-the bus moved on and away. London would be vastly improved if the thick fuckers in cars simply stopped filling the roads up in rush hour and driving like twats when the roads are quiet.
This is not the worst driver in London. I was on the bus of the worst driver: the 76 to Waterloo. It was on deviation because of roadworks but the driver missed the deviated traffic signals and I ended up having to go up to him to give him directions. He only partially listened and missed a turn. We ended up doing a 180 at Bank junction and pissed off a lot of people. When he finally made to to Cannon Street, he didn't slow down for the speed bump. He was doing at least 40. People flew. LOL
@livefreeinuk1 We are useless pricks that have to deal with mindless idoits like yourself. It is one of the toughest jobs you can do. Everyone knows best yet most that complain couldnt't get a moped around London without killing themselves.....So blow it out of your arse livefreeinuk1
@windbag45 Driving buses in london is not one of the toughest jobs you can do. Have you ever worked on a fishing trawler? Or in the construction trade? Have you ever been in the armed forces, or even worked as a london pushbike courier? These are all jobs that, if not done correctly, can get you killed. Stop complaining about your own lack of patience and laziness, and start respecting people in more dangerous jobs and other road users, fool!
@25151206 The last time I looked there wern't any trawlers in London and there has been no armed conflict at Marble Arch, but of course there are harder and more dangerous jobs than Bus Driving. But there is a difference between tough and dangerous! You know nothing of my patience or how I drive but from your comments I know exactly the type of driver you are. The type I meet all day long whilst trying just to do a job.
@windbag45 Well you obviously didn't look hard enough, because it's not hard to find the fishing companies in london, you just need to know where to look(billingsgate market from 3am) It doesn't matter if there's an armed conflict at marble arch, just go to the armed forces recruitment office on the strand. Sure, there's a difference between tough and dangerous jobs, but the jobs I mentioned are both tough AND dangerous.
@windbag45 You're right, I don't have direct, first hand experience of your patience levels, but judging from your previous comments on this page, I'd say it's not very high. You get upset easily, don't you? Especially when you see cyclists riding in the centre of the road, as they are legally allowed to do, and knowing there's nothing you can do to change it.
@windbag45 By the way, a bit of useful information here, no matter what speed you're travelling at, the average travelling speed for motorised vehichles in london is just 11 miles per hour, so don't feel bad if it seems you're going nowhere fast, 7 million people also feel your pain.
@windbag45 And for the record, if you actually DID read my posts, you'd know that I'm not a driver at all, but a cyclist, and have been cycling on londons roads since the age of 7(I'm 26 now) so that means I've had 19 years of experience on the busy and dangerous roads of london.
@speedemonhahahaha You sir, are an ignoramus. simple fact. Most HGV's, if you ever cared to notice, actually have two turning axles (E.g. the sort that Aggregates Quarries use) or they are articulated. The reason that many HGV drivers don't have a problem is because they have, in theory, more manoeuvrability, tied into the fact that All drivers make mistakes and the best HGV and BUS Drivers made simple mistakes just like this one in their earlier days or formulative driving years.
Stop criticizing the way other people driving their vehicles. Besides being a bus driver is no easy job. If you are so good at driving, then go drive a bus yourself.
Small roundabouts are the bane of a bus driver's life...
I have been in that situation, you get a new bus with a long wheelbase or a rubbish turning circle and the place you went through last week just fine is now either diabolically tricky or even impossible to go around in one bite.
Or you're sent on a route you've never been down in a bus before and catch a spot that is harder than it looks.
Or some dumb phuck has parked too close to the intersection and you ca
@pugnut403 As a bus driver myself, roundabouts in general are the bane of my life. My number one pet hate. It doesn't help when you have idiots staring at you when caught in a tricky situation. As for First Bus, they should be run by the Germans as they would run better than. First treat their drivers like shit and are so disorganised, I'm surprised they haven't gone bust yet.
@pugnut403 This is Tottenham Lane, N8 and that is not a small roundabout. The green fence is where a corner shop used to be before another idiot bus driver drove into it.
@pugnut403 This is Tottenham Lane, N8 and that is not a small roundabout. The green fence is where a corner shop used to be before another idiot bus driver drove into it.
I have to travel on London buses all the time, and to those people who say bus drivers are bad? You should try it sometime. They get used, abused, sworn at, cut up, and that's just by the car drivers. Of course they sometimes cut out from stops, how else would they even go again sometimes? Remember, you ARE supposed to let the bus go first, it's in the Highway code.
And I bet that everyone who has a bad comment on this video never have driven anything else than a stupid car.
A truck or a bus is even harder to drive than you all think. Especially with impatient retarted car drivers trying to pass you on each side all day long.
Next time that bus driver comes into a situation like that again he will do it right, I'm sure !
Bus driver made a mistake and made a tit of himself. but watch all the impatient tits goin the wrong way round the roundabout into the oncoming traffic.
Something else people may not know about this particular place being shown in the video is the missing building in front of the bus. The reason the building is missing is because in 2001 a metroline operated double decker bus smashed into it demolishing it completely. The female driver of this bus is a much worse driver i would say! LOL!!! There is anews story about it on sky news:
That is the 91 bus in crouch end, near the ymca. I used to drive that route and I know exactly what has happed here. That particular bus has a long wheel base so the driver needed to correctly negotiate the roundabout by taking a wide swing round it. This driver has obviously not realised that he is driving a long wheel base version so had to go wide towards the pavement to avoid catching the rear end on the roundabout kerbing. This is not the worst driver in London, Trust me I have seen worse!!
@FunkeeDrewster Only a small fraction of the bus drivers are bad! Without bus drivers like you, there would be even more traffic on the road. 99% of bus drivers i have seen are good at what they do! Please don't let your typical idiot who doesn't know how difficult in can be to handle a bus tell you that you're "the worst driver in the world!".
yebbut the speling is atroshus and not an O level in site. Still get 34K+pension rights. 10 O levels, 3 A levels and a Law Degree, yet can't drive due to Epilepsy, unemployed, but willing to work at anything but, being over 50 unemployable! Bus Drivers eh!?
I came third in bus driver of the year some people slag us off but they wont walk and will stay on the bus then complaine but they cant drive or ride a bycycle the only people that can judge are them that know anything about driving. like some managers now no licences they have learnt a college and there hand book says so it must be right they cant properly understand what its like driving a bus
Sorry i wouldnt drive a Bus for 34K a year where is the satisfaction in that , nobody speaks to you and when they do they are either wingeing or moaning, its a dull thankless job and i couldnt think of anywhere worse than being a London Bus driver, with all the crazy Cyclist cutting up the traffic, not to mention how bad it is for your Physical and mental health. NAAGGGGHHHHH ! 34K just isnt enough that peanut especially in London.

@25151206 good for the cyclists health!!! r u kidding me? the amount of fumes that u breath. plus, forgive me for being a bit biased against cyclists, but they really don't seem to think that the rules of the road apply to them. when was the last time that u saw any of them stop at a red light. u would have thought that with the amount that are being run over, people would get the message and stop cycling, but no, apparently there are a lot of people with death wishes

@poplova bull shit. The amount of fumes you inhale while riding a bike in london is minimal. You won't feel any negative effects from them..
Linuxme901 1 month ago
@poplova A cyclist riding upright, is breathing in less fumes than a car driver. A couple of feet of hight makes a difference to the amount taken in. Also motorists spend much more time in jams than cyclists, where fumes are worse. Cyclists are much less likely to suffer from respiratory illness than motorists anyway, which is why they LIVE LONGER than drivers, even accounting for accidents. only about 4% cyclists involved in collisions, are injured because they jumped a light.

@zivkovicable and how many accidents do they nearly cause by doing that! i've seen at least one occasion where it's been a red light, the cyclist, of course, was going too fast, and nearly crashed into someone crossing the road!

@poplova One pedestrian every three years or so, is killed by a cyclist on UK roads. While this is definitely one too many, motorists kill about ten EVERY DAY.
Holland has the largest number of cyclists, & the best pedestrian safety record in the developed world.

@zivkovicable i'm sure than in holland the majority of cyclists aren't colour blind. they know how to differentiate red from green. for some reason, that's one thing that london cyclists don't seem to be able to do. they really think that they rule the road

@poplova Do you think that Dutch people are born with superior colour recognition skills than Lomdoners? Really? Or is it because they build their road infrastructure giving cyclists & peds priority over cars.
You don't seem to be engaging with any arguments here. Just throwing out one ignorant, false statement after another. You think cyclists are unsafe? Provide some evidence or go away.

poplova 1 month ago
@poplova Have you ever considere the amount of fumes you breath just by living in london? Even though roads do get congested, it's still better to cycle through it, rather than just sitting in it, because your body will be constantly moving. The excercise alone more than compensates for the fumes breathed in traffic. Also, there are so many places and roads in london where you don't need to breath the fumes of drivers.
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova Also, the only cyclists who don't stop at red lights are the new and inexperienced cyclists, because they don't understand how obeying the rules of the road will save their lives. Experienced cyclists know from experience how easy it is to get into an accident on the roads and how easy it is for them to lose their lives because someone wasn't paying attention, or because someone was being stupid.
25151206 1 month ago
@25151206 as i said before. if u come to london, you will see that's not the case at all. i see on a daily basis quite how many inexperienced AND experienced cyclists skip red lights. they just don't care.
poplova 1 month ago
@poplova I grew UP in london, and I've been cycling on londons roads since I was 7. I know from experience that cyclists are not "dangerous" on londons roads, as you've said to zivkovicable. Drivers are often more dangerous than cyclists on the roads, by overtaking too close to and tailgating cyclists, which is often an unnerving experience.
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova Also, pedestrians are more dangerous than cyclists because they step out randomly into the roads without looking both ways or listening for oncoming traffic. I've seen this happen way too many times, and on some occassions, they step out right in front of you, so that you don't have enough time to warn them of your presence, swerve around them, or brake.
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova Also, most experienced cyclists(people who've been cycling for more than 5 years) WILL stop at red lights. Most unexperienced cyclists will try to jump red lights because they don't know the highway code or think that they'll get to their destination faster if they do. The only times I've seen experienced cyclists jump red lights is when it was 100% absolutely safe to do so, i.e. no junctions ahead or behind and no traffic on the road in any direction. Even then, it's rare
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova By the way, from the way you speak, it sounds like you're just a pedestrian who uses public transport to get around london. You don't have a car, bike or any other vehichle of your own. If you did, then you woulwould know that cars and bigger vehichles are far more dangerous than cyclists. If pedestrians step out into the road without looking and get knocked down, then it's the pedestrians fault for not looking. Not the drivers fault, or the cyclists.
25151206 1 month ago
@25151206 i'm done with talking to idiots like you ok. yes of course cars are more dangerous than cyclists. i'm not disputing that. that is the "excuse" that cyclists like you use for running red lights. bikes are slow, so it doesn't matter. IT DOES MATTER! RED IS RED, WHETHER UR ON A BIKE OR CAR!!!
poplova 1 month ago
@poplova when did I ever say "bikes are slow so it doesn't matter"? or use the speed and size of the bike as an excuse for running red lights? And what makes me an idiot? The fact that you can't think of anything else in order to prove me to be a "stupid, foolish lawbreaking cyclist"? Guess what, I abide by the law in everything I do, and if I were stupid or foolish, you would have "won" this debate already and wouldn't have had to resort to name calling.
25151206 1 month ago
@25151206 well i admit, i don't know how law abiding/non law abiding cyclists are where you are, and i believe that u are a law abiding cyclist. all i can say is that u'd have a shock if u saw how cyclists behave in london
poplova 1 month ago
@poplova If you'd read my previous comments, you'd know that I actually am from London, and have lived there my whole life, (though, I moved away from london almost 2 years ago now) and you'd also know that I've been cycling in London for the past 17 years of my life. I also worked as a cycle courier for a while. Believe me, I know how cyclists behave on Londons roads.
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova The vast majority of them obey the laws and the highway code, primarily for their own safety, because cycling in london can be an extremely frightening experience at times, especially in places such as marylebone raod, oxford street, and Tottenham court road.
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova The main danger to cyclists in these areas are primarily, but not limited to larger vehichles such as buses, coaches, bendy buses(29, for example) trucks, lorries, and white van men(because they don't have a rear view mirror, just wing mirrors)
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova Also, on marylebone road, a lot of drivers can get very aggressive, arrogant and inconsiderate towards cyclists, especially at rush hour, when the whole place packs up, and space is at a premium. I'm not saying that all drivers are like this or that cyclists are saints or anything, I'm just saying that cycling in london, whilst an enjoyable and healthy experience, can also be quite dangerous at certain times and locations.
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova The trick is seeing dangers ahead of you before they happen, and reacting in a way that will stop the accident from taking place to begin with. (Surely you would have covered this in your driving theory test, right?)
25151206 1 month ago
@poplova While a very few cyclists will run a red light if the way is clear or if they're going too fast to stop, there is only a small proportion of cyclists who will actually do that, because running red lights, especially for cyclists, could mean serious injuries, or even death, and most cyclists use bikes because they enjoy the freedom that it brings, so very few would put that at risk.

This is not the worst driver in London. I was on the bus of the worst driver: the 76 to Waterloo. It was on deviation because of roadworks but the driver missed the deviated traffic signals and I ended up having to go up to him to give him directions. He only partially listened and missed a turn. We ended up doing a 180 at Bank junction and pissed off a lot of people. When he finally made to to Cannon Street, he didn't slow down for the speed bump. He was doing at least 40. People flew. LOL

@windbag45 Driving buses in london is not one of the toughest jobs you can do. Have you ever worked on a fishing trawler? Or in the construction trade? Have you ever been in the armed forces, or even worked as a london pushbike courier? These are all jobs that, if not done correctly, can get you killed. Stop complaining about your own lack of patience and laziness, and start respecting people in more dangerous jobs and other road users, fool!
25151206 1 month ago
@25151206 The last time I looked there wern't any trawlers in London and there has been no armed conflict at Marble Arch, but of course there are harder and more dangerous jobs than Bus Driving. But there is a difference between tough and dangerous! You know nothing of my patience or how I drive but from your comments I know exactly the type of driver you are. The type I meet all day long whilst trying just to do a job.
windbag45 1 month ago
@windbag45 Well you obviously didn't look hard enough, because it's not hard to find the fishing companies in london, you just need to know where to look(billingsgate market from 3am) It doesn't matter if there's an armed conflict at marble arch, just go to the armed forces recruitment office on the strand. Sure, there's a difference between tough and dangerous jobs, but the jobs I mentioned are both tough AND dangerous.
25151206 1 month ago
@windbag45 You're right, I don't have direct, first hand experience of your patience levels, but judging from your previous comments on this page, I'd say it's not very high.

25151206 1 month ago
@windbag45 By the way, a bit of useful information here, no matter what speed you're travelling at, the average travelling speed for motorised vehichles in london is just 11 miles per hour, so don't feel bad if it seems you're going nowhere fast, 7 million people also feel your pain.

@windbag45 And for the record, if you actually DID read my posts, you'd know that I'm not a driver at all, but a cyclist, and have been cycling on londons roads since the age of 7(I'm 26 now) so that means I've had 19 years of experience on the busy and dangerous roads of london.

The reason that many HGV drivers don't have a problem is because they have, in theory, more manoeuvrability, tied into the fact that All drivers make mistakes and the best HGV and BUS Drivers made simple mistakes just like this one in their earlier days or formulative driving years.

Something else people may not know about this particular place being shown in the video is the missing building in front of the bus. The reason the building is missing is because in 2001 a metroline operated double decker bus smashed into it demolishing it completely. The female driver of this bus is a much worse driver i would say! LOL!!! There is anews story about it on sky news:

That is the 91 bus in crouch end, near the ymca. I used to drive that route and I know exactly what has happed here. That particular bus has a long wheel base so the driver needed to correctly negotiate the roundabout by taking a wide swing round it. This driver has obviously not realised that he is driving a long wheel base version so had to go wide towards the pavement to avoid catching the rear end on the roundabout kerbing. This is not the worst driver in London, Trust me I have seen worse!!
