Orion VII HEV Clears Cross Island Parkway

No problem running the HEV off from Union Turnpike and the Q46. Fits fine under the bridges along southbound CIP.

@BJC20199

I never drove with two hands unless I had some TA supervisor watching me (known as a Beakie). If the right hand wasn't holding a camera, it would most likely be hanging from the RTS cross-bar or resting along the HEV driver's door.

I operated my bus with only the index finger and middle finger of my left hand. The outside of my left index finger has a permanent callous from spinning the sharp-edged HEV wheel. My right thumb has one from the RTS cross-bar clamp.

@stuckonthepike-Interesting...­.Which buses you prefer driving?I know some drivers doesn't like the RTS's,because there isn't enough room to move in the driving area.
