Just reread that, triple articulated bendy-bus I assume? No. Just single normal articulated. Sequence is: Approach miscreant car about 1'6" clearance Watch mirror covering centre door As soon as miscreant car shows through glass in centre door, full lock left Front of bus goes left Middle of bus goes right (tailswing of front part with respect to centre axle) taking front of back part right Back of bus goes left nearly, but not QUITE as much, as front of bus. Miscreant car is now caught in "V" thus formed. Bus driver does crossword, has cup of tea out of flask, reads paper till its time to ge On departu Full right lock without moving (don't tell the tyre fitters) Drive forward Front of bus goes right Middle goes left Back goes right Straighten up when both halves of bus are in line. Gives miscreant car driver the collywobbles!!! __ PR |
