Not really from the car driver's perspective, but as a passenger, why is it that some bus drivers absolutely slam the brakes on every time the bus comes to stop, jolting everyone and sending anyone on foot flying. Obviously for more vulnerable passengers (e.g. older folk) this is more than a mere annoyance.
They seem to do it at both bus stops and more predictable stops like traffic lights that are already on red.
Why? Are bus brakes really that snatchy? I'm trying not to tar all bus drivers with the same brush, but it does seem very common.
TIA Badwolf.
