Most of my accidents, and the only ones that have caused permanent
damage to my aching body took place while I was driving a 40' long, 9'
wide city bus. The last one, and the one that ultimately caused me to
retire, was an elderly lady, stopped at a red light, who accelerated
into the side of my bus, hitting it hard enough to break the frame. Her
excuse - she thought I was in the left lane.
Other accidents involved cars ignoring 3' square red signs that read "Do
not enter - buses only!" Since they couldn't see the sign, it was
obviously equally impossible to see a large object with all its lights
flashing. If I had been able to convince maintenance t opaint large red
targets on all four sides, people might have avoided hitting me.
