The last two days have been quite exciting, and nerve-wracking, for me. If you follow me on Twitter (@Chris_Hoskins) or are my friend on facebook, you may have noticed that I’ve been learning to drive the Blue Horizon Bus.
Until Tuesday, the biggest vehicle I’d ever driven was Linda and I’s Ford Fiesta – maybe 8/9 foot long and 5 foot high, the bus is 35 foot long and 14.5 foot high!
It went well though, the instructor (Gibby from Whytes coaches in Inverurie) even commented on how naturally it all came to me.
It was quite a cool experience learning to drive the bus, though I still need a fair bit of practice just to get used to the size and weight of the bus. It certainly gives you a new appreciation of how you drive when in your car!
If your ever in Aberdeen, give me a shout, I’d be more than happy to show you the bus!
Peace out
