    To Other Road Users?

    If not why do Bus drivers always think they can pull out on you while they are 1/2 way up the Bus Lane on Harbrough Hills? Im sure it is a SOLID white line between the bus lane & the carriageway and that the bus lane as a Give Way sign painted at the end meaning Buses should Give Way to traffic already on Harbrough Hills.

    Am i wrong?? or are Bus Drivers a law above everyother road user???

    Bus drivers are complete aresholes! Can you EVER remember a bus driver letting you out of a junction??? I think it's high time busses were banned from the road.

    remember acouple o years ago, 1 just pulled out on me at the alhambra r/b straight into the outer lane,
    think the highway code says its polite to give way to buses, but i could have killed the knob driving the bus!
    they dont give a **** cos its not their vehicle...bit like the white van man!
