Indeed buses can be a dangerous thing. I caught one once and ended up at the wrong destination!

For "professional drivers", bus drivers near me are some of the most shoddy. They make taxi drivers look good. I'd say 50% of the time, they don't indicate on roundabouts at all. They are also keen to use indicators to mean, "I'll put them on for 2 seconds before pulling out, regardless of the fact that the traffic alongside me hasn't had time to get past." They park opposite junctions, all sorts. For some reason, this sort of behaviour is tolerated, simply because "they're a public service" (read money making, subsidised business, rather than "some poor sod trying to get to work to earn a crust").
To quote viz's top tips; Drivers, save time and fuel by not slowing down and flashing buses to allow them to pull out in front of you. Continue on your journey as usual and they will invariably pull out anyway.
