Was this bus driver bad?

[nethalus]

You did wrong, you know you did wrong, doesn't make it okay but you've learned and moved on (I hope). I wouldn't particularly ask for more.

Nethalus hadsn't learned, she hasn't learned on, she still thinks her manoevre was okay. We shouldn't reinforce that message.

Blimey he's really got it in for bus drivers ain't he!

but her lack of understanding or acceptance that it was technically wrong.

And the cyclist might not have been technically wrong?

but it might just be an indication that there are other more serious gaps in her understanding of the road.

There's sod all grounds to make that deduction.

What ever gives you that impression......

Cab IS right though. The only slightly worrying thing here is not so much Nethalus' driving in the described incident, we all make mistakes, but her lack of understanding or acceptance that it was technically wrong. It probably doesn't matter much, but it might just be an indication that there are other more serious gaps in her understanding of the road.

I could try and make another quip about suitable punishment for such a minor matter but I'm worried tdr1inka might have a tantrum.

Lack of understanding for being technically wrong? How so?

It sounds to me like the inadvertant insults are starting to come now?

Lets see I passed my car theory test 35/35 correct and then my car practical test. I then had to do a test on the highway code during my interview at the bus company, which I got 20/20 on. I then had to do a PCV thoery test, again 35/35. Also had to do a Hazard Perception test, got 69% on that the highest in my group. I then had to do a PCV practical test which I passed. And Cab is saying I don't know nowt about driving and road saftey!!!

Thats impressive,the perception test is very impressive,the highest ever at my training centre was 74%,no one to date has come near it.
I passed with 66%,And have had no accidents of my making yet,in all the years iv been driving.

Brock,
We will happily leave you to your private fantasies.
To openly suggest dragging a female bus driver from her bus to spank her is proposition of an agressive act.

You say the Bus Driver was agressive, so you do it back from the safety of your computer, maybe in jest but, sorry Mate, you sound like nasty little boys full of E numbers and all wound up over someone elses fight.

As yet the only bits of my postings you appear to have noticed are when I have, a/ suggested you might be misguided or b/ I have made a minor spelling mistake.

You boys is just plain old fashioned Bonkers!

I did read all your postings. Even when you weirdly posted one again.
And you're still spelling optimist wrong in your sig

Nethalus seems to have taken the spanking comment in the lighthearted context it was intended, I'm sorry it upset you. I made it purely in an attempt to lighten the mood of the discussion because I think it's clear to all of us that Nethalus is certainly one of the more caring bus drivers. I honestly don't think there's any danger of a violent paddling being carried out in response to my call for a S&M style jihad.

 

[tdr1nka]

Fair call Brock,

My point still is, and you're very lucky that Nethalus didn't take offence, calls of sexism, and possibly threatening behaviour are too easily raised these days and would have done nothing to help the argument.
As Jihads go I've heard of worse.

Dang, I can't believe I spelt optimist wrong, twice.

You're right, they didn't.

 

[tdr1nka]

I should blush.

Never taken offence like. Once nearly took out some railings when I was a newbie. Got bullied by a rival bus company's bus and he tried to have me off the road.

I reckon it's about time a moderator locked this topic. It's a disaster zone.

Not that bad is it?

You're OK, Nethalus. I'm just tired of the ranting and I can't be bothered to read all the intolerant crap that's been posted.
