You've quoted the wrong guy you arse!

Anyway, despite your 2000 odd posts, you haven't exactly brought much to the thread either.

"Illiterate school-governor in local coach-company internet hate campaign."

Are you also powerfully built goatee'd company director and a hammerer of frozen sausages by any chance...?

Yawn, that's been done to death now

With Jimmy Krankie running your part of the world, how are things.

Ooh, raw nerve...!

Coming at this from another angle, before I saw this thread I saw your second video in the st driving thread. I thought what a non-event, and checked your other videos to see if that was standard. Saw your first video and thought, another non-event, this guy's clearly got a beef with coaches/coach company. And here we are.

The point I'm making is I thought this without this context or bandwagoning.

Can someone explain the "hammering frozen sausages into lawns" thing for me?

I'm sorry I'm off topic but someone mentioned it a few posts back and I'm more interested in that than the non-events in the videos.

Ooh, I nearly didn't catch your cheeky little edit there.

Actually, they're great thanks; an economy that's still growing, free prescriptions and eye tests, beautiful scenery, clean waterways, abundant renewable energy, a positive attitude to migrants and refugees and a great relationship with the EU.
Unfortunately, the neighbours are wkers, but then you can't have everything.

I suspect we'll still be doing much better than you when Cruella De Vil gets in dahn sahth too...

Apparently, when they defrost the local wildlife smell it and come and rip the lawn up to get at them.

I can think of much better ways of pissing someone off myself...

[GoneAnon]

Thanks for that.

What you want to achieve ? I'd suggest post to local police e.g Facebook / social media or to to traffic commissioner. Later might not act on this alone, but will hold on file.

Sorry OP I was with you until you posed the Video.

Had the van driver gone round the roundabaout rather than over it then it's a none event.



And your driver is even worse.

have to agree, what a clown you are OP

[BlueHave]

Had to laugh at going to straight in the company.

If it's like the 'professional' and by the book companies I've worked for the complaint never got anywhere pas the office bin.

Then a few months later a call would come in and you would get all the 'yes that has been dealt with throughly' ' action has been taken I can assure you.

Most complaints end up as waste paper.

if you on a L test you drive around, the van driver is not mine but if not conflict with others you don't drive around the markings.

only a drivers who don't on this one invite people to think they are going straight on trust me! its more dangerous.

Sorry I forgot its PH so you post a clip with an issue and the mob wade in blame the publisher and camera car and the lynch them!

The principle of your opening sentence applies to giving way at roundabouts, too.

What is the matter with you? Has the coach owner slept with your wife or what?

By the way, it's "would have...", not "would of...". Don't governors have to be literate any more?

For me the coach failed to give way to traffic from the right, so called professional driver being paid to transport children, this action resulted in another motorist/s having to change direction and or speed. The cam car cuts the line as not in conflict with other road users. This means no other road users had any near misses or had to change direction and or speed, therefore I find nothing unsound with this manoeuvre.

Traffic flowing from the right, so in my mind the coach should not of entered the roundabout and waited, as the van was clear on their intentions. It would seem a highly concerning trait for a bus/coach driver to not have the self discipline to hold rather than put a large vehicle with passengers in such danger.

My understanding is had their been an accident the police would blame the driver who failed to give traffic from the right priority.

After 86 months on PH I'd have thought you'd have learnt the most basic of lessons: when to stop posting. Your view of the incident, as considered by your PH peers, is very much a minority view. Accept that and move on.

OP, I see your points and partly agree with you.

However, I think your judgement is a little clouded by your ongoing issue with the coach company and you risk both sounding a little obsessive and odd as a consequence - not least, any future issues of a more serious nature might not be processed in the way you ultimately wish...

It's still a non-endorsable, failure to comply with a traffic sign offence. But I doubt you'll ever accept that, pretty much like the bus owner won't accept his drivers are less than perfect.

You should not be using your position of school governor in this instance.

The situation has nothing to do with that position and the implication is that it will somehow effect the relationship between the school, the coach company would well be within their rights to make a complaint to the school...

I would suggest you mention your conflict with the coach company to your CoG and HT now that you have used the governor position to try and influence the outcome....

WtF ?

are you suggesting that governors do not share in the responsibility to ensure that the School provides safe and effective provision ?

,
I think the point is that it should not be unilateral but with the support and knowledge of the other governors, or at least their consultation. To be fair, it might bring a better outcome if they acted together.

This...^^^

as said there are clear guidelines for governors, and acting unilaterally is not part of the role. Going through the correct channels is the proper way to do things. ..

What would the situation be like if the coach company decided to pull their contract due to a governor posting videos on the Internet to try and damage their reputation? It could cause issues for the school especially if the local press decided to pick it up...

[dingg]

the coach was too fast for approaching the hazard IMO

[anonymous-user]

Regarding the first 'incident', the van driver would easily have had enough time to realise that the coach (coming downhill at some speed) was not going to stop at the mini-roundabout - and indeed seems far less perturbed about it than the OP. Not the best driving by the coach driver, but by no means unusual in today's cut-and-thrust society.

The second 'incident' is - as others have pointed out - a complete non-incident.

Situations such as these must occur by the thousand every single day on UK roads; hardly worth commenting on, TBH.

[micky g]

I'm with the op. Very poor driving from a 'professional' driver who has the added responsibility of carrying passengers.

'Mine's bigger than yours' syndrome.
