Your last thoughts on bus drivers made me think of that horrible underground train crash, where witnesses said they saw the driver was conscious and smiling as he ran the train into the buffers at full speed. Can't quite remember the details of where or when it happened, but it was quite famous. Could it be that he had been lulled into that 'sleep state' by the vibrations in his cab?
I wasn't aware of this but I possibly it could have been a factor. I imagine there will have been quite an in depth investigation into it so maybe it was a consideration.
Many thanks Fitz and Lil for this entertaining and thought provoking episode.
