Big ass

No, not mine. The yellow Hopper buses that drive around town. They all carry a sweet little sign on them that says "Please let bus go first".

This is, of course, not a request. What this sign really means is "Please do us all a favour and completely forget that you are on the road and have right-of-way, while I am on a bus stop and let the bus go first so that I don't run right over your pitiful little pile of plastic and tin and prove that your Ponsonby Tractor ain't all that after all when I pull out into the traffic a split second before my indicators go on and park on your bonnet or make you brake/swerve to avoid hitting me".

Of course the bus doesn't carry signage that say that; the buses aren't big enough to fit it all on.

Was a guy in auckland that was eventually asked to lay off the ARA buses.. See he had this Ford ute with a 2" waterpipe frame right around it. Any time a bus pulled out in front of him he would just plough into it.. Cost them thousands in repairs 7 he was always in the right.
