# I saw a lady bus driver this morning driving on the right hand side of the road
because she didn't think she could get the bus down the left-hand side (there's a little pedestrian-crossing island thing in the middle)

she got undertaken by a man driving a long-wheelbased transit towing a large trailer who fit through the gap on the left perfectly, which then caused no end of confusion when they both met another bus coming the other way

I decided I'd wait for the next one

# That wasn't very likely to happen twice in one day now, was it?
Silly emvee.

# I'm not saying all women drivers are perfect
but that's a long way from saying all women are rubbish drivers.

As a busdriver I've seen many many women drivers who I've wanted to pull out of their car by their bleached blonde (roots showing) hair and slap them across the face. But instead I have to grin and bear it as they pull across my bus into the bus lane and park up to let a friend out etc.

# I wasn't suggesting this anecdote proves a rule at all
but at the time I was just staring, going "what the bloody hell is she doing?"

in the event I found that they've dug all the roads up again (after filling them in what, three weeks ago) and it was far quicker to walk to the station
