On about one third of the London buses I travel on, I sense the driver
shows very poor appreciation of either passenger comfort or of the
passenger's sense of safety. There is real aggression shown to other
motorists. 'My big vehicle can intimidate you in that small car'.

Ah, yes. I wonder if the Italian train drivers felt that that
constituted "undue pressure", particularly as this was perceived to be a
