It has to be said however that when I've personally seen drivers jump red lights it has been on the more visible junctions but it's still no excuse, other times I've seen one bus follow another through just as the lights have gone red, no real risk but it still shouldn't be happening.

If I'm completly honest as a regular bus user for longer than I care to remember, I've been on more buses where the driver has gone through a red light than I could possibly count on two hands. You only have to stand outside my local bus station to see that it happens on a regular basis - first bus will go through on amber followed by one, somtimes two buses that very clearly go through on red.

Then there's the bus drivers who pull into a bus stop to drop/pick up passengers or wait time then just pull out into traffic without giving way forcing cars approaching to slam on thier brakes.

What I'm trying to say is Bus and hgv drivers are often the worst of the lot!
