 | Bus drivers tend to pull out on you a lot, and they never indicate. I get it all the time. Absolute cunts.

 you do know thats not law right? most bus drivers tend to think it is mind you, so meaning if their indicator is on they can pull out whenever they want, cunts

 | Yeh I know it's not law, it's just on there because they know nobody will let them out
  
 I rarely let them out unless I'm in a generous mood. The ones round here aren't too bad, but agreed, they're usually utter wankers in bigger towns & cities!

 | I never let buses out! I hate being behind them, or even a van for that matter, I like to be able to see further ahead up the road but when your behind a bus/van you can't see anything.

 | Bus drivers need to be ignorant cunts, they are driving a fuckin bus ffs... Especially in cities, especially london! You have to be an ignorant aggressive cunt driving a car in london let alone a bus. Also don't forget, they are at work while they are driving a bus... how many of you are ignorant/miserable while you're at work?

 | well said guys i think were all agreed bus drivers are tosspots, and as far as the give way signs on busses are concerned, they used to be mandatory but now they should say please give way to this bus because it's not law anymore.

 | bus drivers are a bunch of cunts, they take the give rule to any extremity they see fit.
 
 Once had a bus pulled over picking up passengars so i was waiting behind it as stream of traffic coming the other way, then some other cunt in a bus coming other way decided to stop next to it and have a chat! whilst blocking to the road to me who had been waiting patiently to get by
  couldve clocked the cunt |

 | I used to have this kind of intolerance for bus drivers but now I just work off the theory that if they're at a bus stop, at some point they're going to move away. Knowing that they don't always indicate, I slow down a bit and watch them. If I get chance, I let them out, I'd rather follow and then pass at the next stop rather than try to pass and then avoid them as they pull out anyway.

 | Furiously overtaking and getting mad doesn't help in the slightest, but yes. Never had a problem with bus drivers, always been kind and let them out.

 | Can't say I've even come across that matey. The real problem I have is with BMW/Audi/Merc drivers and anyone driving anything over 3T. Complete and utter cocks, especially artics trying to overtake on a hill.
