Three weeks ago there was fatal bus crash, on the route I use. The driver, who I've met many times, and a passenger were killed and several others seriously injured when a lorry pulled out in front of them.
I knew I had to get back on the bus, or I'd avoid it for ever, and I did today. Unfortunately there was near miss between the bus, and two other vehicles caused by a caravan cutting in, and only prevented by the bus driver doing an emergency stop on a busy roundabout. Lots of screaming and swearing and for me the most disturbing bit was that the bus driver kept hooting at the caravan all the way to the next junction. To me that says the driver was not controlling himself. I can understand that the drivers on that service will be sensitive at the moment,
I keep telling myself that no-one was hurt and that it was actually safe. But I don't believe it. Do I do it again, as soon as possible?
