TfL use of English
lid (Paul Cummins) wrote in

Which used to say "do not speak to the driver or distract his attention
while the vehicle is in motion"
Edinburgh's old open-platform buses had the command 'Do not alight whilst
in motion'. My schoolboy friends decided it meant that you had to jump up
at the moment the bus moved away from under you. And of course we tried
it, with variable results.
