Hi! Peter Laws here, from the Frightful channel. I'm considering doing a RU-vid video on Wookey Hole and wondered if it might be possible to feature some of your footage in the video. I would of course offer full credit both on screen and in the video description. I'd also include a link to your channel, and this video, to drive more traffic your way. If you're interested, let me know. But no worries if not. Thanks!
That is very good driving given that there is not much leeway with a wide vehicle like a coach or bus in the lanes. Having to actively scan the traffic directly in front, ahead, behind as to what is coming up alongside in the mirrors. It a multi-tasking role, not just sitting in a seat getting from point A to point B. I drive coaches so I know what I am talking about, kudos to the driver, but those announcements would drive me up the wall! lol
@@alaaaltamimi3382 I've been doing this job for 11 years. All you ever put up with in this industry is stupid clueless people all the time who are a pain in the arse. And you pick up after other lazy drivers. You are constantly refuelling, adblue filling, and cleaning out the coaches the day after someone else carelessly abandons them. Its constantly like that in this job and unless you are prepared to be doing that every evening. Don't look at coach driving.
I understand the need for these safety announcements given all the legislation travel companies have to abide by now, but still pine for the days when we didn't have to listen to any of it!
I'm a full time coach driver and its not mandatory or compulsory for travel companies and coach hire operators to do this. Safety announcements are not legislation they are company policy. However, coaches must have legal notices on display inside the vehicle such as vehicle height, seating capacity/Crew plate, first aid kit notice, fire extinguisher notice, VIN Plate, Emergency exit labels, seatbelts must be worn. These are known as legal notices and the DVSA officers must be able to see them on a roadsode check or during an MOT test. By law the driver does not have to say anything at all nor do they have to play 'Safety tapes' nor do they have to tell you not to smoke, nor do they have to tell you to wear a seatbelt. You don't have to listen to it and there is no legal obligation for you to listen to it. I have had this arguement many, many times with clueless passengers. When they've been angry or upset and they've argued that safety explanations and breifings were not explained and said I had a duty to say tell them or play a safety tape. To put it bluntly no I don't and if you think that then you couldn't be more wrong. The PCV driving test says you MUST point out all the legal notices in the vehicle and you can do this without speaking. The test does not require you to address, or speak to passengers on a microphone. I hope this helps
have you got the runaway train on ride with the audio? as i will always love that sound the train made when it came roaring through for the second go around.
