Bus Driver of The Year.

[Lou Girardin]

I was heading up Khyber Pass after work last night, the traffic was heavy as usual. I saw a Stagecoach bus forcing his way into the left lane, as they do. He moved through the next lights, but the exit was blocked. So this Richard Cranium blocks the entire intersection for a complete phase. He's a very lucky man that we don't carry handguns in NZ, there were several cage drivers ready to kill.
So shit-for-brains finally moves ahead, then CHANGES BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE.
I was stationary alongside his side window by now, so I thought I'd ask him if he actually had a licence. Honestly, this cretin wouldn't have known his arse was on fire unless he smelt burning.
What are they hiring for drivers these days?

Shit knows where they get these guys but be carefull they sometimes out of the blue decide to move into your space with no warning

Yea, I have seen pricks like that before, lucky he didnt kill anyone. Hopefully he kills himself

But wouldn't that also involve a bunch of innocent bus-riders also biting the dust, or kicking the bucket, or pushing up dasies, or...

I give up.

I was gobsmacked when a woman customer,who is a driver on the yellow busses asked me to back her Teranno out of the workshop for her!! I suppose she doesn't reverse her bus often...but,but....that's the level of skill out there.

When those fuckers pull out on ya- which invariably happens in the city, ride close to their window then smack their side mirror so it's now pointing down. They can't see shit and have to stop to adjust it... Done it a few times and it makes you feel a shitload better.

And have you noticed they become conveniently deaf and blind when you try to bring their stupidity to their attention? The bus drivers in Wellington are just as bad, they move into the intersection after the light has gone orange (often when it is red) and then block anyone moving. I tooted at one and he just laughed at me - after all, what could I do?

There was a woman bus driver on the Northland/Karori run years ago and she managed to smack her mirror off going through a tunnel! And that wasn't all, the whole left side of the bus scraped along the exit! Priceless!

Would have scared the hell out of the passengers

And I bet she still kept her job after that incident as well.

I have to wonder if they have a competition in bus companies to see who can be the worst bus driver in their companies...

The prize would be.......... a nice new shiney bus to start all over again.

when i get up next to a bus in traffic..rightbefore the light changes.. i like reaching up and pushing thier rear view mirrors forward.. thjey dont use them anyway..are they just bus-bling?

Old workmate of mine (a good few years ago now) called a Yellow Bus driver a bad name , and the large and angry bus driver got out of bus, tapped on his window (which he very unwisely wound down)...smacked him very hard in the mouth, and then calmly returned to bus and drove off. Workmate lost a tooth or three and was then up for dental work at great pain and expense. Workmate sued the Yellow Bus Company..... and lost. Great legal expense added to aforementioned costly dental work. I think there's a moral in there somewhere, but damned if I know what is....

Don't open your window?
Don't abuse BIG bus drivers when you're stuck in traffic?
Learn a martial art?

Be bigger than the bus driver. I had a 'badass' truckie want to fight me in Paramatta one afternoon - till i got off the bike.

If they desrve it I'm already with you - stupidly double parked trucks/vans stopping traffic flow get that treatment.
