OT: Disgusting behaviour.

Sounds like a pretty crappy day to me...

I'd write to the bus company or, if you find it's a one-man-band, simply make direct contact and ask him to explain himself. In any case, a copy of the letter to the local authority (or whoever issues the licence for PSVs) may also help, as potentially, would writing to the local paper.

I once got a taxi from Schiphol into Amsterdam when a lorry cut us up. The driver of the Merc taxi asked if I were in a hurry to which I replied 'no, not really', so he proceeded to overtake the lorry, then slow right down forcing the lorry to slow. As the lorry pulled out to overtake the taxi sped up a little and cut into the lane the lorry was in, then slowed down. I rather felt this was a tad dangerous and mentioned this. "It's not a problem, it's the Dutch way to deal with Spanish lorry drivers, they expect it really" was his response!

Did you get the company as well? I'd definately complain. If he's managed to get hold of a bit of paper, a pen and write on it means that he wasn't concentrating on driving at all.

Unless he drives round with a collection of rude words already written down!

Go on, complain. I would!!

Did you get the name of the company? Try a google or a yell.com search.

Care to let us know of the company? Ill see if i can find out a contact number.

Ooooh.... there's an idea.... :-)

Serious question: Why?

Because it would distract you while you typed in the message? Because it would distract other road users once you had typed in the message?

I ask because I've seen the Police using exactly this type of signs to give instructions e.g. "Follow me" or "Switch off your Fog Lights, you pillock!!"

They have this light board thing in our Doctors that displays your name, and which room you have to go to when its your turn - you could always mount one on your vehicle, and have a set of pre-set rude words etc, that can be displayed at the flick of a switch as you drive past.

These would be illegal if mounted on a vehicle, though :-(

I can just imagine something with suitable messages, working along the lines of a James Bond number plate, built into the back of a Land Rover.

Bus drivers have to gave a PSV licence, or what ever the latest Euro Babble term is, point is its quite strictly regulated, more so than for a HGV for example. Anti social behaviour and road rage would be of interest to the licence issuing traffic commissar.

What, some twin .50's ????

LOL

Seem to remember Top gear got hold of one, made specially for cars, you put in your own message... JC tried to put one in and found out it included its own little sensor !

n posted ...

Heheheh ................... censor ... ;)

wot comes of driving a Vogue Rangie :( anyways its has to have a sensor to censor :(

My Landy has a built-in public address system, operated from a microphone on the dash. I've often wondered.. is it legal to use whilst in motion? Ideal for replying to bus drivers with bits of paper :^)

Thinking about it, in truth our ex-plasterer Jason brought out the very worst in me. Road rage is secondary to what I'd do to Jason :)

This idiot deserves to lose his job!

Definitely complain, however long it takes...

What a stupid thing to do while driving a coach full of passengers.
