    Buses running red lights

    Anyone else think this shit is getting out of control?

    Working day in day out I must say there is no place worse than in the Auckland CBD. Just today as I was turning right off Queen St, a good 3 seconds after my light turns green this CityLink bus is not even halfway through the intersection. I give the driver a gentle sound of the horn and the thick c*** even had the audacity to give me the finger.

    These bus drivers seem to think that they have some god given right to bend the laws in their favour just because they are providing a service to the public.

    Get the details, bus number, plate, time and location etc and ring the company.

    I had one bus that stopped, then before the light turned green (like half way through the intersection before it turned green) he was off... reported to the company. Company doesn't want that sort of thing going on (coz the bus is so well signed up), so giving all the details makes it easy for them to follow up.

    Years ago they put these signs on the back of the buses "please let me go first". Soon after that the bastards would pull out without warning forced me onto other side of road once.

    Look - the drivers are on minimum wage.

    On minimum wage.

    And spend all day carrying around some questionable, often smelly people.

    On minimum wage.

    And no other road user gives a fuck about them.

    On minimum wage.

    An occasional red light run is a given.

    I'm surprised the buggers don't flip while on the job and go nuts in traffic.

    Just saying.

    Did you do everything perfectly at work today?

    twice i've written down the wrong measurements, or added instead of subtracting. it's only cost maybe 15 minutes, and no biggie. but it fucks me off. too much drugs maybe. (or not enough )
    asides from that. yeah. i'm functionally perfect. but i don't drive a bus and/or live/be in aucklandshitholefuckenstupidcunttown.

    and any cunt that's dumb enough to moan about where or how they live (by their own fucken free will and choice) deserves nothing but derision and shunning.

    like cunts that moan about the weather. should just be shot. you cant/wont do anything about it, so STFU. humanity doesn't need your whining ass.

    When I wuz a baby traffic cop we used to hammer bad driving like that. Seems it doesn't get the attention it did in 1988.

    A little before your time, when Auckland buses and traffic were well-behaved...

    When I was a baby truck driver it was nearer to the end of the last millennium when the heat started coming down on red lights and stop signs. Until the late 90's it was prison rules in the hours of darkness in crappy places like Hamilton with its shitty light timings. Then the word came down from the top that if anyone was caught that would be it.....
    Glad im outa that game now, shit you'd fell like the captain of an oil tanker off the coast of Mogadishu stopping at hammy town traffic lights these days... Wont be long before we see truck jackings for food.....
