The van driver that decided the 20mph limit wasn't for them, overtaking my trainee and me in our bus behind morrisons on St ives this evening at 1640. I'd have got their number plate if I could.

Report
Clearly not bothered by previous reviews, as another lunatic van driver seen on the M25 today. The road was packed, yet he was too impatient to wait safely with everyone else so he tailgated, undertook and carved people up. He clearly had no regard for anyone else's safety - pure selfishness. Disgusting behaviour, a company to be avoided as they clearly don't care about anyone else's wellbeing.

Absolutely fuming, just had an argument with one of the drivers who was going to fast down Appenine Way to get to Tesco's. Nearly went in the side of me as I was pulling out. One second no vehicles and the next him nearly in the car. Dangerous driver who even threatened to put my face in the back of my head...
