Inexperienced Drivers

Have u encountered any?
Yesterday, at about 4.30pm a service 143 LO turning out of toa payoh int got stuck horizontally on tp lor 2! The driver had not steered left in time and he was going too fast when coming out so he just went straight for the road divider and stopped! The LO was blocking the entire road, horizontally! He tried to reverse, but cant as there is a 0405 service 26 at the back of the LO and another two 0405s behind the 26. The 143 driver was horning at the buses behind but they didn't move at all. Then my bus, 431R on 56 came and i went off to bishan. I saw all this from the opposite side of the road. Lolx. DD stuck on road. Lolx

The problem with LOs is that its very hard to steer a bus properly. I presume that the driver loves to drive merz or VOs far more often than an LO.
On top of that, his agar-ration might be a bit off

Well....who could forget the very horrible accident last year when one svc 61 Indian driver killed someone waiting at a traffic light? He was driving a normal 12m merz.....guess the steering too light so he overturned it and *bang*.

I think LO steering wheel is too tight. Saw LO drivers struggling with the steering wheel with two hands like wrestling liddat. I havent tried the steering of LO though.

There is a svc154 LO3AX driver who drives the LO very fast with only one hand.....seems its as easy as an 0405....Originally posted by SBS9845X:I think LO steering wheel is too tight.

Ive seen 143 drivers driving a LO3x before.. can sense that it is very hard to drive it.. most of the drivers will use 2 hands to turn the steering Wheel.. its like driving a bus without power steering.. hmmm.. Driving with one hand.. ?? Wow.. Driver is Pro... must go take and see how this driver drive a LO3x with 1 hand...Originally posted by TIB1186Z:There is a svc154 LO3AX driver who drives the LO very fast with only one hand.....seems its as easy as an 0405.... -
One hand??? I think is is some hell of a guy who trains his arm power every day......lolx. Almost impossible to drive an LO3ax properly without struggling.
