The guy actually drove past a gap in parked cars that he could have
pulled into to allow me to proceed without the need to reverse myself.
Reversing is clearly hazardous even for a car driver.

Given the situation you now describe, if I had been that bus driver,
you would certainly have got a mouthful of abuse from me too.

I suppose I should have guessed the subtext, rather than just
answering the bald question as you put it.

And it is many times more dangerous for a large bus to reverse on the
public road than it is for a car to do so.

Unless you are a *really* crap car driver, of course.

I'm not surprised that driving a bus is stressful if you go around
telling other road users that they are ****ing morons.

It was clearly justified, but he still shouldn't have called you that.

I understand
that they are short of drivers but Arriva really dragging the barrel
getting their current drivers.


It isn't that surprising he lost his rag a bit when faced with a moron
like you.

So I am a moron for expecting a bus driver to pull into a space rather
than pulling up to my car bumper to bumper then getting so ****ed of
that I didn't reverse at high speed to allow him unhindered access then
to swear and threaten violence.
Well al least we all now know that you support violence and aggression
and fowl language rather than do what is expected.
If you see another car coming the other way do you also deliberately
drive past a space then tell the other driver he is a ****ing moron and
threaten to punch him in the face.
You don't have to answer that.
