I was up at bridge of orchy today doing some hill walking. Upon driving back we got stuck in a traffic jam after the traffic lights. As it turns out a bus had swung around a corner and hit the front quarter of a 4x4 pick up. The jam took ages to clear causing a massive tailback in both directions of what is a very narrow section of road. Its not the forst time Ive been up that road and almost been rammed off the road or had to wince as a bus has hammered past using part of my side of the road. Whilst I understand these bus contraptions are improtant for tourism isnt it about time that they were banned from the road during busy periods of the day due to size and apparent lack of skill of the drivers of said buses. Theyre a nuisance and I wouldnt be suprised if there was a fatality caused by a bus on the lochside sections sooner rather than later.
Ill leave the insane riding of sea of bmw gs1200 owners for another day.

Have seen some incredibly poor driving by coach drivers on the A82, 83 and 85 over the last few years. It also seems that the worse the weather, the worse the driving.
