That was her downfall, thinking a pocket size Smart car would be comparable to a doubledeck bus. Back in the late 70's I spoke to a woman doing her HGV 1, because she couldn't get a test date for a car test, so she went straight to class 1, because the car licence (at the time ) came automatically with the class 1 pass.
I lived in Bristol and was a TV repair man. Went to Australia where my qualifications weren't accepted, so got a coach license - after 3 one hour lessons ! Drove coaches for a year, then decided I wanted to drive buses. Did the 3 week training course, including driving lessons and drove buses in Adelaide for 29 years. The best job I ever had. You meet lots of people, out in the fresh air all day (unless you shut your window !) - it's a no pressure job and most of the people you meet are very nice. I'm retired now, but bus driving is a really good job to have.
@@Emilia-ej7bn I passed it, I've been working as a driver ever since. It has its moments, but like any job, it also has its bad moments too. If you're not a people person (Which I'm not), this Is a job I wouldn't recommend. If you enjoy being around people, it's a great place to be.
I suggest not drive with a window open or a crack even, as it will suck the air from the back of the bus to the front. That means all the exhausted air from your passengers gets sucked out right past you. A great way to catch any bugs.
Being to stern of an instructor can and does affect the learners confidence and ability to learn. In school if a teacher makes the lesson boring and constantly stresses at you then you don't learn anything but when you are having a laugh with them and enjoying yourself you are put at ease and learn much quicker.
that indian instructor should get a raise, after all those near accidents he still stays calmand complimented her while he almost flown through the window XD
I got my bus license 3 years ago. The first stage of process was culling down 67 applications, then medical and physical assessments. Afterwards, heavy vehicle license test. Once you passed, you go through test assessment with trainers. The assessments was rigorous, only 5 out of 21 made through. Now, I have the opportunity to experience drive both single and double deckers. The first year I struggled, because I haven't driven large and heavily vehicles before. Now, I'm very comfortable driving busses. The minors are your best friends and apply the hand brakes while you're stationary especially talking to trainers, slow down you're in a bus and it takes longer to stop none all the candidates use it. You have to get behind the wheels to get experience. Here's the difference between single and double deckers. Double decker busses are limited to and certain routes it can go including accidents and road diversion, and heavy and slow. Single-decker busses much faster and can go anywhere.
Oh my god some of these instructors talking like this is the hardest job in the world, big respect to the Indian guy he actually was chilled an made the situation enjoyable,
@@poorlittlebiker6476 3 years as a bus driver me, and this comment in on point !! The job is easy, its everything that comes with it that makes it difficult !!
I came down to London in the 80's from Scotland had a great time got a job driving buses for London buses was trained to drive the routemasters at the London transport training school in Chiswick it wad great we went all around centre London on driver training it was very thorough we allso done our training at the training school reversing around parking cones and learning to control skiding on the skidpad i passed my test first time after 3 weeks of training i was 21 years old i was stationed at westbouren park garge drove the 7,28 31 bus routes all around central London in heavy traffic it was great the pay was good to with plenty overtime to boost your pay
God I know the feeling of driving a bus like that for the first time. It's a scary experience, it makes your heart pound. But these instructors know what they're talking about, if you can put all the fear (and pride) aside, let them guide you, take in their experience... driving a bus is suddenly a piece of cake.
Aaron Porter yeah I agree One key thing to safety is to always take it slow Heck I was told do not worry about anybody behind you But yeah you never know what Hazzards could happen
Oh and Aaron I failed to take it slowly and I ended up tailswinging the rear end of the school bus right into a fire hydrant and that was because I did not even notice it and I was focusing on making sure I had room to go around a car that was right in front of me and was parked So now I saw for myself what happens when you don't take it slow
I can remember when I got my chauffeurs license and thought I was doing right well in a dumper. And THEN I started driving a concrete mixer and had to relearn everything I knew before. This was in the days before pumps and you had to just put the truck where it needed to go. And keep track of a top heavy load and get it the right consistency and try and keep the truck clean and not freezing in winter and everything else involved, but I'd rather do that than drive a bus. It was just me and the finishing crew and you learn to make it easier wherever you could. And every job was different. And you see a LOT of country an a short time.
Huh a chauffeurs license to drive a truck?? I thought that was for driving limos I don't about you But in the US you need a Commercial license to drive a truck
Learned on a DLD then got a week on the VLP. Three routes through London and two local. It was a experience and when people started flagging down our bus my instructor said I must be improving 😂. Tbh easier driving a bus than a car cause you can see down the side. A bit stressful at times but loved it for the four year's before I moved and changed job's.
It's not too difficult to drive a bus if you've had any experience with long vehicles, but it is extremely difficult to find drivers who can maintain professionalism and a cool temper with acrimonious passengers and other road users. That guy was just as argumentative with his passengers as he was with his instructor.
When i was training to get my PCV license, we trained in pairs, and the guy i was training with never checked his mirrors, our instructor said to him one day "you just hit a car" in an attempt to make him check his mirrors more, he slammed on the brakes and ran back thinking he did hit someone, when we got back to the depot the guy went nuts at the instructor and i think he was right to put him in that position, but it made sure he always checked his mirrors in future, when your in a bus that weighs 10+ tonne, you may not feel very slight knocks or bumps, a tip to those going for their PCV license, Mirrors are your best friend when your on the road.
Its such a shame that after passing the test which took a lot of work, so many new drivers quit within a matter of weeks due to the long and unsociable hours and how overwhelming it can feel to be given 20 routes, a strict timetable and huge volumes of passengers in rush hour traffic with almost no support at all.
It's a demanding Job mentally and sometimes emotionally, London is not a great place To Drive Buses anymore especially more and more cars more traffic in the road every year
Pmsl love it. Been a bus driver 4 years, They dont tell you about the weight gain, piles and a bloody ass, pricks of other drivers and then theres the passengers
Lol weight gain and piles - that is so true lmfao 🤣 I was a size 12 when I started in 2007. I am now a size 20. Long hours and irregular eating patterns are not good for weight!
This Double Decker driving school is a challenge since you are not only learning how to drive a public bus but also driving a great big piece of machinery. Double deckers are heavier than the regular single deck bus. Driving a public bus is challenging since unlike a car where the dome light is used for finding stuff in your car such as the seatbelt when it's sitting still, you have to drive these big buses with the interior lights on and mostly at all times. And when you have them on, it paints a glare on the windshield at night. Maybe in the UK you might get off easy with your interior lights off if you are on a pretty sunny route where you have a only a few trees and you are driving during the daytime. You sometimes have to put up with loudly talking passengers.
I've often wondered how different a double decker would be to drive. I've got a 41ft (12.5m) 500hp V8 motorhome which I imagine would handle differently to a DD bus.
I’m shocked to hear Claire is still driving. She must have greatly improved! She couldn’t even see a bus directly in front of her or see a pedestrian on the road.
Here in Vegas we need to know how to drive all buses: 40 ft., 60 ft(articulating) and the double decker. And if you have driven the strip, you know how difficult it is, number one hazard: always getting cutoff.. ALWAYS... so hard breaking is a no no... gotta be scanning the road and live in your mirrors.
Yea but general public can drive how they want if I do I have to see the garage manager you cant get annoyed you cant correct others and you have to fix their mistakes and smile golden bus driving rule eventually you learn to hate people ✌👌👍😄
When my friend let me drive his simi fully loaded to the brim i was eager too.. i only drove it in the wide open road with no one around.. for the very and only first time i did well
Funny how when they pass they immediately are of the belief that as long as you have no instructor behind you you can make up your own rules. Poor Yaz has a lot to learn. When I passed 16 years ago I still drive in the manner in which I was taught.

If you get the job, always try to keep friendly with as many bus and coach engineers as possible. They are the ones you rely on, if your heater breaks down in the winter etc. Mobile cashier on wheels, driving a large till with seats. When the fares increase and or bus is late due to traffic, drivers get the flack.
I get a local stotts bus to college every day and the drivers are all lovely, much respect for the shit they deal with on the daily. I understand why a driver would feel intimidated by a bus but some people drive like divs
Reminds me of the days of training and assessing intern paramedics. Encouragement is a key factor in boosting confidence. "That wasn't bad, but try this way next time" is better than "geez, you nearly killed them! What the f*ck were you doing???" during scenarios. GBP25k as a salary? Is that a base salary or average including shift work? That's only AU$46K, not even a grand a week. Maybe free bus travel on days off is a perk.
Just passed my theory tests last week( theory, hazard and case studies). Passed them all on one go. Tomorrow I will for the first time drive a bus in London with an instructor. I'm so nervous hahah
Pretty good. Been driving for 5 days now (3-4 hours per day). It's not easy at all. I still struggle with corners, but it's getting better and better each day. I always thought driving a bus will be easy, but it's not. You also notices so many bad drivers out there. But I still got 3-4 weeks training and hopefully I will pass my last practical test.
We have double deckers at my job in Sweden. I haven't driven them, but there is nothing extra or more difficult with them compared to normal 3 meter tall buses. They are more expensive so the bus conpany does not want any damage to them. There is also the thing with low bridges. So the one's driving them must be well known in the area where they are driving. In case they drive the wrong way or are diverted they must know not to be caught under a bridge. Apart from that there is no reason to have driving school for double deckers. 15 meter buses have more damages. A lot more.
Well, double decker busses aren't the norm in Sweden, they are in London. This is more just normal bus training, but it makes sense to do it with double deckers since they're the typical bus used
I was appalled at Clair's temperament - Sh;s too nervous to drive on the road at all let alone the stresses and responsibility of driving a bus in London
i honestly sometimes don't see bumps as well. when you have a LOT of traffic and people wakling around you dont notice small holes on the road quickly sometimes.
Do they assess driving skills of potential candidates in a car first? So many people with a car licence who can't really drive their own vehicle, let alone a heavy vehicle.
Being just a passenger in a bus stresses me out sometimes, on the stagecoach route I take there's some tight turns where cars tend to park on, 8 times out of 10 the bus has to drive over the pavement to make it.
The Examiner is Steve Sparkle he's the spitting image of Jack in on the buses he wouldn't need any make up as he would fit the part,a lot of the trainees called him Jack
I can't tell if 1:11 is misleading or not. The real route 103 goes runs from Chase Cross to Rainham. Or maybe 103 as in the channel because 103 is the ITV channel on Virgin Media
I might be becoming a bus driver. From what I can tell, it's not great. The interviewer said 'you're going to be verbally assaulted quite regularly' and another bid driver pointed out that the shift patterns are horrible. Earlies, mid and nights. Nothing regular, which seems unhealthy and potentially dangerous.
The double decker bus is taller and heavier than the school bus I think. It’s a patient testing driving both buses but if you’re up for it good luck and keep the passengers happy.
As a London Busdriver for 25 years, watching this brings it all back.
what route do you drive?
Respect to all the U.K bus drivers, their skills and effort behind wheels are beyond my imagination.

We have double deckers at my job in Sweden. I haven't driven them, but there is nothing extra or more difficult with them compared to normal 3 meter tall buses.
They are more expensive so the bus conpany does not want any damage to them. There is also the thing with low bridges. So the one's driving them must be well known in the area where they are driving. In case they drive the wrong way or are diverted they must know not to be caught under a bridge.
Apart from that there is no reason to have driving school for double deckers. 15 meter buses have more damages. A lot more.
Well, double decker busses aren't the norm in Sweden, they are in London. This is more just normal bus training, but it makes sense to do it with double deckers since they're the typical bus used
I was appalled at Clair's temperament - Sh;s too nervous to drive on the road at all let alone the stresses and responsibility of driving a bus in London
Yet Claire's still driving at Arriva and has an exemplary record, popular with her employer, colleagues and passengers alike...
@@OldFlapper yep she works at south Croydon garage
Tony mason was my instructor...if he insulted you you knew he liked you lol top bloke
i honestly sometimes don't see bumps as well. when you have a LOT of traffic and people wakling around you dont notice small holes on the road quickly sometimes.
Do they assess driving skills of potential candidates in a car first? So many people with a car licence who can't really drive their own vehicle, let alone a heavy vehicle.
In a van first, yeah. Only let them behind the wheel of a bus if they do okay on a van drive.
Good instructor nice. Give confident. To student. I am also instructor from Dubai
Being just a passenger in a bus stresses me out sometimes, on the stagecoach route I take there's some tight turns where cars tend to park on, 8 times out of 10 the bus has to drive over the pavement to make it.
11:30 - You have do _'The Hand of Question'_ in situations like that.
It would also be acceptable to add the _'Sebastian Vettel Tantrum'._
in Eastern Europe , if u get out of driving school car or bus etc you are dismissed lol
Akel Alex even if you're going to get more vodka?
Lol watching this to feel better about first time driving an amazon vehicle on friday...
Poor driver. Don’t even give her a car
love to see a bendy bus drivers school , now they are a challenge to drive , but a lot of fun at the same time
commodore665 you mean the Articulated buses?
From what I understand, they are easier to turn than 40 foot buses
fargeeks
that's them,they are a bit easier to turn , it's all about scale , mind you , you do not want to have to back one up
commodore665 yeah
And also I was thinking how challenging it is to see to the back of the bus to know when it's safe to change lanes
The female driver shouldn't be so nervous she needs to relax she is making me nervous, that instructor gets a kudos for his calmness.
Loved watching this programme.
Why did I watch this? And why did I watch the whole thing?? 😂
Okay TH-cam, I watched it.
The Examiner is Steve Sparkle he's the spitting image of Jack in on the buses he wouldn't need any make up as he would fit the part,a lot of the trainees called him Jack
The most stressful job in london .
What about James bond?
the most easy job in london
@george why would you say that? Do you even work?
@@alien-vx2bj The are far easier jobs than bus driving.
@@konradmroczek2496 like what?
I could drive busses esay myself
Im used to driving cars Towing alsorts of overloaded loads and I pick up stuff exceptionally fast and learn it deeply
Pedestrian crossing has an island, so it's two crossings. Ped has to stop and to use a crossing you have to put your foot on it.
Does anyone think that Clare’s cheeky move in her smart car had anything to do with the voice over saying about the smart move in bus driving??
Dabu Dekahbas and Jamaican music. hell yes!
Claire is an absolute ride she's gorgeous
All motorcoach operators are special people. God bless us everyone
They’re not even wearing their seat belts including the trainers .😂😂
because buses don't have seat belts?
@@jamesswift217 i think he means drivers and Instructors have seat belts but hey aren't wearing them
Never seen a bus driver eith a seatbelt
@@thereeceforbes bro what? Passengers don’t have one ofc , but all bus drivers have seatbelt on.
12:26 Rip camera dude
I can't tell if 1:11 is misleading or not. The real route 103 goes runs from Chase Cross to Rainham. Or maybe 103 as in the channel because 103 is the ITV channel on Virgin Media
It's the channel
I am learning a car not a bus. but enjoying this video
My dream job 😍😍😍
same
just to drive a bus ?
All I hear from bus drivers are complaints about management so if you can keep your temper under control go for it
i rather be a tube driver, better pay but more experience needed.
Gencturk92
yes' a bus.!
Problems???
ARRIVA is a UK company, they have most of the tenders here in Serbia
There German I think mate
Yeah?
Well we have First Transit and First Student in America however they are part of FIRST GROUP and it is also a UK company.
What are these buses, Tridents or volvos?
DAFs
DAFs
Alx400 Trident DAF’s
DAF's
Dr3aMGamingBG we have already said
I might be becoming a bus driver.
From what I can tell, it's not great. The interviewer said 'you're going to be verbally assaulted quite regularly' and another bid driver pointed out that the shift patterns are horrible. Earlies, mid and nights. Nothing regular, which seems unhealthy and potentially dangerous.
His mum didn't answer 😂😂
thanks for sharing. very helpful
Apparently buses and high vehicles underneath the arch Bridges are supposed to use the middle of the road
Ever thought you could drive a double decker bus? Me from an anime:
The guy with the woman was giving me anxiety and im not even there
What is the biggest difference in driving a double decker transit bus then driving a school bus ??
Aaron Porter it’s taller
BrandonPryorMusic
Visually.
Not so behind those wheels
The double decker bus is taller and heavier than the school bus I think. It’s a patient testing driving both buses but if you’re up for it good luck and keep the passengers happy.
Simple
You're not driving a tall ass bus into small ass neighborhoods
Warning for all ppl that drives
ALWAYS CONCENTRATE ON THE ROAD!!!!
I can't agree more!
No shit Sherlock.
