Followed a short wheelbase King Long coach home tonight... At 1st I thought the driver was drunk - due to the way it bobbed around it seems the driver was having to correct the steering all the time.

Believe it was one of these - http://www.kinglonguk.com/content/xmq-6800

Anyone driven one or seen one close up??

They had a load of king long coaches when I was in Malta. I never ever get carsick but bloody hell I nearly spewed going round those roads in one of them! Like a boat on the road!

The problem is obvious in that video... all the weight is 4 feet above the chassis over that vast expanse of nothing they call a luggage bay.

It looks like it has the centre of gravity of a fat man on a pogo stick eek
