How is that possible with the technology they have? You could imagine it with the older ones and it is up to the driver how gently he brakes and accelerates. I have had that feeling often, being propelled A over T, this is usually in Manchester City centre.Campfirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573797205145907726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-28036927436583913782012-05-02T19:35:53.637+01:002012-05-02T19:35:53.637+01:00Forget about educating the driver, I think you sho...Forget about educating the driver, I think you should tell the management to invest in English lessons for themselves.

No more man power needed. I`m sure I`ve seen a program on TV some time ago where they are tinkering around with cars now. The idea is to get it to recognise your voice, take instructions to where you want to be taken and then will automatically drive you there. You just sit and reax while the car takes you to your destination. A bit like utopia, wouldn`t you agree. That`s what the world is going to come to eventually. hopefully I will not be around to see it happening when it does.

They must have hada surplus. <br /><br />I think the "where" should be "that." It sounds like they are telling the driver not to jerk the bus around and peel off (if they can) and slam on the brakes. In other words pay attention and fuel consumption with be less. Obviously, the drivers just don't care until they are monitored. I am sure it is the same in the US. <br /><br />"If you think your driver is smooooother, please tell him." So Ilona, did you feel him to see if he was smoother? Smoother than what or who? As with signs in the US, I often wonder if a person with an eighth-grade education composed them. <br /><br />Some days I would hate to have a monitor on my driving. But, I am sure we will all have a gadget that we have to answer to, the way things are going.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-19143661645915478672012-05-02T00:44:19.346+01:002012-05-02T00:44:19.346+01:00You are correct in thinking that the notice should...You are correct in thinking that the notice should read 'more smoothly'.

She had to learn to drive so that if the Captain was asleep in the back of the car(really conked out from too much wine, port and rum at a ship's dinner)she had to stop at lights , whatever, without waking him up. Honestly, do you think he would have noticed?<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-7351002060227762592012-05-01T22:47:30.854+01:002012-05-01T22:47:30.854+01:00I thought the idea was to get all the passengers t...I thought the idea was to get all the passengers to the back of the bus in a big pile.Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-92159645047000935992012-05-01T22:13:54.044+01:002012-05-01T22:13:54.044+01:00They obviously like using as many 'o's as ...They obviously like using as many 'o's as possible too .....Lol :-)<br /><br />Sue xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-29514174919803769952012-05-01T21:43:21.765+01:002012-05-01T21:43:21.765+01:00hubby is a bus driver and they are doing the '...hubby is a bus driver and they are doing the 'traffic light' thing soon at his depot in South Yorkshire.<br /><br />Josie xJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307151386938476266noreply@blogger.com
