Definately wouldn,t try for driver of the year competition.He wants stuffing with the business end of a rag mans trumpet. |
I know that bridge (I used to live in Harpenden) and my son lives in St Albans and I regularly take the 321 bus to and from Luton which uses that route.

With the two buses that I was called out to that had gone under bridges, both drivers were running back empty at the end of their duty, both drivers were off route taking a short cut that they had regularly used when they were driving a single deck bus. Most drivers have at some time been guilty of driving on auto-pilot I think, especially on roads that they use every day and that is what happened in these two accidents. Basically the drivers knew the roads but forgot what vehicle they were driving at the time, it's very easily done.

Mea culpa - wrong bridge - the 321 bus doesn't use this route - it's another bridge in Walkers Road.
