Bendy buses = a stupid stupid stupid idea, (and that's before I'd seen that video).

They have a sign on the back that says: "Warning This Bus Is 18 Metres Long".

This should be replaced by a sign that says either:

"Warning This Bus Is Politically Long".

Or

"Warning This Bus Is Pointlessly Long".

And which idiot thought that 18 metre long buses would be a good idea clogging up London streets? Remember next time 'round who's wasting your money.

what is it with buses?. Lets ban them so all the poor people will have to stay at home and we can then use the bus lanes to overcome the congestion caused by removing a perfectly good lane from normal service.

Why should the poor get priority transport anyway. Priority should go to those who pay more into the system. So make the bus lanes for 40% tax payers only. We deserve something for our money.

By all means replace the rear sign, but put the "Warning This Bus Is 18 Metres Long" on the inside of the windscreen.

Oh, and how did you get hold of their training video Will .

Cheers Mark.

There are a lot of crap london drivers. Some of them are in buses.

Sorry to hear of your off, and well done for wearing all the gear.

Had to pop to B&Q to get some polyfiller and a bus nearly took me out, but for once it was Mr Taxi today, to whom breaking or using the indicators where not necessary!

*Sigh*

Anyhoo better get back to the DIY before the wife kills me!

Cheers

Bro - I SAW YOU ! Red Sv , both of you in leathers, couple of bicycles were stopped on the inside island with you...

Dk about buses, i think its that junction thats evil - cos i got slammed by a car right there about 3 weeks ago - he took my right foot peg clean off , my right shin bone has a bump still - altho it never bruised up or anything....

The geezer pulled over, but by the time id stopped and looked round they'd gone...

Im mega careful there now..what happened to you ?

I was between the cars waiting to go, went asap but car man went just as fast and slammed into my right side....
