Right, cos drivers never do that.


Drivers certainly do, but in those days there weren't bleepers when
passengers closed the doors, so the risks were a bit higher.

(I accidentally leant on a button in a crowded 465 and closed the door
bleeplessly on someone. For what very limited use they have, it would
be better if they weren't there.)
