I have been driving for over 45 years and I can honestly say Addison lee drivers are the worst drivers I have had the displeasure too meet I doubt very much if any of there drivers even hold a driving licence
As a bus driver myself, one thing I never do is leave that cab. I stay in my domain, especially during a roadrage situation as you never know how it could turn out. That bus driver could have been stabbed.
I was medically retired due to ill health, which I put down to the stress of dealing with a difficult public, and unrelenting traffic that just constantly wants to get in front of the bus. They even overtake you then make a right turn, just thoughtless selfishness on the part of ordinary car drivers. My advice to you if you want to preserve your health is to look for something else. Remember, life is short, and you're a long time dead! Pete
I personally find Addison Lee drivers among the worst on the roads. I hate saying such a sweeping statement - I'm sure there are a few who are good. Every time I'm a passenger I wince at their manoeuvres and every time I'm on my bike I can guess if the car's an Addison Lee car by it's driving style. Truly awful.
This is why I don't drive buses anymore, there is no professionalism anymore. Never get out the cab and confront another road user, for £10 an hour it's not worth it
Wow.. every time i see addison lee is in a video on youtube they are always driving like idiots and being rude to people.. It sure sounds like a nice company.. not
that addison lee driver has been seen before i think on a cyclist video cant remember which one but i wont forget his face. such a cocky attitude for a man. needs to get knocked back into reality asap.
They do indeed have forward facing camera's, but sadly these are not used to fine people for parking offences. There was a scheme back in the 90s that 'allegedly' did this, but not so these days. However, TfL do have mega powerful cctv across London and fines are issued via this system.
i am just like this, i am the bus, this is my place to be not yours, it says 'bus' in the name 'bus stop' for a reason. you get a nice honk of my air horn and a gad gesture to move, if that doesn't work then i'll get out and say something.
Indeed I have, the most recent a couple of years ago when a woman pulled out of a side road without looking. My premium the following year was £10 less. Non fault accidents should not affect your insurance, if it does, then you're with the wrong insurer!
Why not? Of course you can. It's recommended that you don't if you have an aggressive situation for your own safety, otherwise you can leave you cab so long as the gears are put in neutral, the handbrake is applied and the cab door closed
The company I work for are shit. They keep us at work for nearly 13 hours a day and then they wonder why most of their drivers are always grumpy and tired. I do my best to not rise to situations. If someone pulls out in front, I just stop and let them go and don't rise to it. As for the passengers, some will try to antagonise me, but I just ignore them and won't even look at them as I can't be bothered. I do what I'm paid to do and that is drive the bus and nothing more.
Addison lee driver should lose his licence if he even holds one. 223 of the highway code says give way to buses and coaches where it is safe to do so .
Please tell me this got sent to Addison Lee's bosses? I'm a bus driver in Edinburgh and this sort of behaviour from car, van, and taxi drivers alike winds me up on an almost daily basis. Sadly there isn't a great deal that can be done to stop them doing it other than following dangerously close to the vehicle infront so as to not create a gap, and thats obviously not an ideal thing to be doing especially with passengers on board.
I've had problems with AL cab drivers - they drive like complete morons. Mine overtook me on a country road, I was in my car following a line of vehicles going at around 55mph (we were all sat behind a HGV. The AL pillock flew past me then had to pull in and hit the brakes to avoid oncoming traffic. He then had to sit there for the next 4 miles, constantly up the arse of the car in front, constantly on his brakes. First chance he got, dual carriageway, he blasted it up far beyond the speed limit (I got to 70 & he was still pulling away!). That was my first ever experience of AL & subsequent experiences have been no better.
It's clear what the van driver has done wrong, the two buses are moving and the Addison Lee driver has forced his way in between the two vehicles, an action likely to cause an accident and clearly his fault had an accident occurred. Having said that, the bus driver should have stayed in his bus, or maybe just hit the van? The cctv on the bus would have absolved the bus driver from all blame.
No, bus driver insurance is paid for by your employer and simply covers all employees with the proper licence to drive any bus owned or hired by the employer. Bus companies rarely claim on the insurance, generally all damage up to around half the cost of the bus is paid for by the bus company, they only claim for severe damage such as 50k or more, or a total write off.
Hello, I'm a producer at ITN and we would love to use your footage in a documentary we are currently producing. Would you be able to drop me a line on lewis.hatfull@itn.co.uk to discuss further? Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Lewis
Personally, weather Addison lee or a bus driver. Screaming over spilt milk isn't going to make the situation any better. We're all out there doing a job. So we all just have to make the best of both situations. If the bus driver stopped screaming like a little fairy, he doesn't own the bus or the bus lane, just like Addison lee don't own their own cars. We're all out there trying to earn a living. We work for company's not for our selves. And if the company puts a rule out there weather Addison lee or a bus driver we have to abide by it carrying passengers or delivering parcels. Etc etc.
kung-fu hustle the bus driver has a responsibilty to keep his passengers safe...when ppl use the bus lane and cut buses up it makes it dangerous so the bus driver has every right to get angry, especially when its stopping his progress from actually doing his job.
Out of curiosity, is your bus driver insurance linked in any way with your own car insurance? I always wondered how that works, especially when, as you say, the risk is much greater and it's hard to avoid having knocks every now and then.
It puts your car insurance up as soon as you change your job to anything that puts you on the road longer, as the law of averages says you’re more likely to have an accident. Also if you have an accident of any kind in any vehicle, you should inform your insurer
Should not but in most instances do, it's a common knowledge. Insurance scampanies will move you into a "had an accident" risk bucket and will load you up accordingly. Especially if one lives and drives around London, like the bus driver here.
provided they can trace work incidents back to drivers name which depends on how your employee tracks them. either way they will always find a way to milk us.
Interesting point, actually. Once your name is in a database having been involved in an accident who knows how they use that information. I will say though, that I've been a bus driver for 27 of the past 29 years, and obviously been involved in a few knocks during such a long period, most of which was in London, though most knocks were not my fault, some were, but never did it affect my own car insurance which rarely increased, only allowing for small amounts for inflation.
Sorry pal, you are wrong on that ! My van was sideswiped by a bus, same company, same place ( van was parked with no one in it ) so therefore it was non fault collision ( they don't use 'accident' any more ! ) Even so, not ONLY did i lose 5 years NCB but the filthy bastards added on another £40 p/a to my cover ! ( Van Line insurance - scammers)
So when renewing your own car insurance, what do you say when they ask how many incidents you had within the last 5 years etc? I wonder whether they could do someone for saying 0 when in fact they could have had multiple on their bus/lorry insurance. Cheers
mate lothian buses must be the cushiest number in the UK!! i drove the 38 first buses and then the 900 citylinks there.... fast forward a few years and a move to East London later and Im now in the London Ambulance Service more recently on fast response cars and let me tell you.. Addison Lee drivers will cut you up and constantly get in the way even when your on blue lights and screaming some sirens!
Can't see what the van driver has done wrong as he hasn't parked in the bus stop but merely tried to drive around another vehicle. There is no law which states other vehicles are not permitted to drive into bus stops. If the van had pulled up at the bus stop, then fair enough. The bus driver over reacted.
I have been driving for over 45 years and I can honestly say Addison lee drivers are the worst drivers I have had the displeasure too meet I doubt very much if any of there drivers even hold a driving licence
Had one cut right across me once
to meet, their drivers
Got hit by one of the cunts
I totally agree
No Stagecoach
Used to be a medic in London.... even London Ambulance Service hates Addison Lee. Forever blocking ambulances paths!
Just think how stressful his job is and he is getting paid peanuts.
What does anyone expect, its an Addison Lee driver ;-)
Still more intelligent than any cyclist

You are allowed to leave the cab. 🙄
Just make sure the bus is secured first.

You tried to hit the side of my vaaaaaaaaaaaan .
It's not worth saying anything now with so many cameras about
Typical day in London xD
My top five of poor drivers
1. Addison Lee
2. Uber
3. Black cabs
4. London bus drivers
5. Local council camera cars
They would have crash
that addison lee driver has been seen before i think on a cyclist video cant remember which one but i wont forget his face. such a cocky attitude for a man. needs to get knocked back into reality asap.
Bus stops Are for buses not vans
Addison Lee, probably got his license from a cornflake box.
👍
Interesting point. Never really occurred to me to include work related incidents, though of course they should be included.
The creepy dude in the delivery van was at fault here, the bus had the right of way.
They do indeed have forward facing camera's, but sadly these are not used to fine people for parking offences. There was a scheme back in the 90s that 'allegedly' did this, but not so these days. However, TfL do have mega powerful cctv across London and fines are issued via this system.
At least bus drivers do have a rule in the highway code stating other road users must give way!

I heard that Addison Lee only look for drivers who don't have a license.
A bus driver is not supposed to leave his cab

The worst thing a bus driver can do is play policeman. Find another way to de-stress even if that means quitting.
Regardless of who's in the wrong, Im surprised the big white guy didn't beat that Chinese looking guy up.
If it weren't for black cab drivers Addison Lee would be at the top of my hate list .
I swear that bus driver was on Go ahead now
he's he sacked immediately if he left his cabin at Go ahead
Why does Addison Lee think he has the right to park in a bus stop
Unfortunately I'm still doing that shit. I wish I wasn't. I fucking hate it with a passion.

Vans aren't allowed to stop in bus lanes and in front of bus stops to drop off deliveries.

Guess it depends my only at fault accidents have not involved third parties so that meant no insurance was ever claimed on for my at fault accidents.
Insurance premiums are not affected unless the accident is your fault.
