 Driving Styles - Manatee
I hate being thrown backwards and forwards so I tell her I feel a bit sick with it. She doesn't like it mind. She just gives me the keys now which isn't really what I want.

Most people's driving gets to me which suggests I'm the common factor. I'm not - there are some people whose driving I simply never notice, presumably because the g-forces are minimised.

I had a boss once who was an extremely nice bloke and became a good friend, but he did two things that together really did make me feel queasy. He would be on and off the accelerator, even on a motorway, so you were nodding all the time. The other thing was going round corners in little bites, as if they were threepenny bit shaped, so you got a sideways nod on as well. Fortunately he didn't like driving and he often asked me if I'd mind driving his car if we were using it.

I have noticed that bus drivers seem to do the on/off thing, especially the ones who drive airport car park buses. I have been told that buses are hard to drive smoothly, which seems ridiculous when passengers can be on their feet.
