50 mph is ridiculous

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2006)

I drive a transit city bus and i know that for a transit bus of that age to be able to manage 50 mph is absolutely impossible for many reasons. My company has a few buses that are 88-91 made and they tend to overheat and shut down if they stay on the highway long enough. So do some of the newer buses. And if you ever drive a bus, you'll know that making any sort of a turn, even with an extremely wide pivot, is hard at 30 mph, 50 is quite literally impossible, because the bus would roll over. We use the movie during training, to show new drivers what someone that knows nothing about buses could come up with. And even though it's done only after a week of training, they know just how ridiculous the movie is. It's still a great movie, even though now that I know better, I can laugh at every single part of it.
