bus tales iv

So one of my favourite things about this job is the perspective you
give other drivers. One phenomenon I've decided to call the octabus
phenomenon (standing for "Oh Crap There's A Bus") makes me chuckle
particularly chortlishly inside. When squeezing past a car whose left
side is on, very near to or even over your lane line, it's pretty
satisfying to not hit them... it's a big vehicle, so putting it
somewhere small is a challenge. What's best, though, is seeing how far
away from the lane line when you look back at them in your mirror. I'd
say an average of 30cm. Nobody likes being that close to a huge blue
and white peoplecart. Oh, the power.
