Buses, coaches, & lorries

rsg1234567:
Fabulous pictures of old buses, they had so much character and the bodies seemed to so much better built than today’s stuff or is that pure nostalgia…however, I always found that truck drivers who also had a pcv were in general terms better, smoother drivers particularly with regards to gear changes/ braking etc…

I have lit the touch paper now, so I’d better run …

Taking my PSV test in Feb.1956, Guy Arab dd and the inspector by my shoulder through a sliding glass partition, “Now driver, smooth ride is the name of the game, your passengers must not feel your gear changes, nor you pulling up or taking off” it has stayed with me to this day. Couple of weeks ago I did another IAM Mature Driver Assessment. Nae too bad for an auld yin.
