Just to get things started, yesterday I drove across the bridge to go pick somebody up in Burnside. As I get to the end of the off ramp to turn left onto Burnside Drive, (both lanes turn left for those of you who don’t know this) I had this bus driver come so far into my lane that I had to slam on my brakes to avoid being flattened between the bus and the side of the overpass! This was not the first time I have been cut off by a bus driver, this is almost an everyday occurance. You assholes think because you are so big, you can just fucking push your way along the roads and highways. Cutting people off by pulling out after dropping people off and picking people up. Just because you have your blinker on to pull out doesn’t mean that you can just do so knowing people are behind and beside you. I drive a silver neon bus driver and I’m begging you to cut me off one more fucking time, I am begging you! Because I promise that the next time this happens to me I will get in front of you slam on my breaks, get out and kick your fucking head off … I Promise!

Since buses must make wide turns going inot the other lane in inevitable. Knowing this. when the bus is turning how about staying back until the bus finishes its turn. In Tornoto if a bus has its blinker on to get back in the lane after leaving a bus stop is is illegal to pass. Motorists must yeild to buses there. I think we should do the same, that way the buses would be closer to schedule meaning more relable which would hopefully get more people using them and then there would be less cars for them to contend with.Stop passing the buses and take your time, it will be safer for everyone.

The bus would mow you over and you would look as an asshole that fucked up and possibly ruined 20+ lives IN THE BUS…Thanks a lot. Normally you give the bus the right of way. That’s just comon sense.
ah yes, i’ve seen you before. you’re always the one that gets squeezed off by the buses. you didn’t learn from driver’s training that buses have the right of way. oh, you never took driver’s training? ohhhh mineeeee 🙂
There’s right of way, which we all understand; and then there’s dashing your way through almost smashing every car. I was on a bus once and saw the bus driver do that. almost took out 2 cars that were in the lane in front of him, then he continues to say they terrible drivers. Sure they are. Bus drivers are the most angelic drivers in the universe, no they don’t make mistakes or are selfish bastard. They profits and high and mighty, sent to do God’s work by clearing the streets from cars!!
Listen, Purvie, I think it’s time you trade in your puny Neon for a bus pass. You have a bad case of assholitis, road rage, and a total lack of common sense that tells one not to argue with things that are bigger. You’ll be doing everyone a favour!
