Driving buses on fresh snow is one of the most fun things I've ever done. Bus doriftu in large, empty parking lots should be a sport. Steering on ice is pretty dicey though, as most are rear-engined so the front just wants to push like crazy.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Screw college, you should've gone pro. I've had public bus drivers here rear-end lit up ambulances, jump curbs and slide into a public park and do 40 over in a school zone. They need someone good to give this fat union paycheque to. I actually thought about it because I loved driving. However, the starting hours are crap.

How f'n hard would it be to put in IR flashes that would only be picked up by the camera? But then again the whole concept is bullshit, so whatever.

Speaking of speed cameras, here's a video of the former Chief Constable of North Wales Richard Brunstrom getting tasered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02Zwg8Xnop0 (This might have already been posted, but that doesn't make it any less hilarious.) Ridge_Runner_5 posted:In all honesty, though, I don't understand why they use actually flashes for it. All it serves to do is blind a driver at night. They have to make sure that drivers know the only thing they should be paying attention to is their speedometer, especially at night. I love how you can actually see the formation of one of those phantom traffic jams in that video, where you have a whole line of cars being startled into hitting the brakes, which causes other non-startled drivers to have to slow down, slowing down those behind them, ad infinitum.
