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 …
When I got my PSV licence an old driver said to me…“a good driver is one that the passengers never notice, don’t throw 'em about on corners and learn how to ‘feather’ the brakes, (that’s what he said), no harsh braking.”
Todays bus drivers b loody terrify me, most of em can’t spell ‘brake fade’
How the hell can a sane driver actually accelerate a double deck bus, full of passengers, down a steep hill and expect it to stop at the bottom ■■ Arriva drivers around these parts can.
