Interesting - I find them worse. The binary throttle/brake and
sheer aggressiveness seem particular issues.


Sheer aggressiveness almost seems an essential qualification to
drive in London, given the amount of it that drivers of all kinds of

Er, do either of you ever have cause to travel on NX West Midlands
buses??!!

I've heard the trams were introduced because they couldn't stop the bus
drivers doing handbrake turns.
