Driving Standards of late
You lot must be great fun at parties. People do it all the time, as long as they're in the correct lane at all times on the roundabout, there is nothing to stop you doing it. The merge 3mile from the Lane closure folks are the only ones who usually get their knickers in a twist over it.

What is it like as a drivers point of view for driving with a steering wheel which isn't aligned properly?

(25 May 2023, 4:53 pm)Andreos1 Appreciate it's not a bus, but my first car had a wonky steering wheel.I'm the same in the bus - in fact often it takes me a while to even realise it's off-centre.
As long as my hands were in the correct position and I was focusing on the road, it made absolutely no difference whatsoever.
If I put my hands at an angle to suit the steering wheel, then it would have been carnage.

(27 May 2023, 10:37 am)deanmachine Same, I've only ever really noticed when it blocks my speedo. The first bus I ever drove, one of the GNE Cadets had an offset wheel, as did the coach I was learning in after.It seems like alot of GNE Deptford streetlites have an ofset wheel.
Interesting one today, took mrs ambassador out for a bite to eat, we had planned the Shep and Sheperdess but ended up heading to the Moorings.
Beamish was utter chaos and my 28 was stuck in heavy traffic. Once we got to Station Cottages, he became more irritable and shouting at cars. We then suddenly reversed into a small lane by Station Cottages, narrowly avoiding hitting two cars and headed back towards High Handenhold. He asked anyone for beamish to get off and walk and then suggested he might end up turning around and going to Newcastle as it would take an hour to Chester.
He then drove like an utter lunatic through 30 zones, not in service, we were only 10 minutes late by this point down through Urpeth towards the Moorings

(28 Aug 2023, 10:27 pm)DaveFromUpNorth If this is factually true... I would advise to contact GNE directly
Don't worry the CCTV onboard will back your account of the story
But GNE can also learn from this experience too and add it into their training

(28 Aug 2023, 10:47 pm)Ambassador I’ll drop them a note. The reversing was more concerning, a passenger offered to direct him. I’d be amazed if the van passenger who was filming the manoeuvre failed to report it, he was so close to wiping him out.
I applaud the ingenuity but the reversing and then erratic speeding down towards Chester less so
