BUS DRIVING STEERING TECHNIQUE

BUS DRIVING STEERING TECHNIQUE. Sweep, negative swing and pivot point.

You should be constantly checking your positioning and mirrors before you even reach the junction, retired bus/coach driver of over 40yrs. When I was taught we sat over the front wheels, our instructors instilled in us the importance of your mirrors. Good luck to you in your career choice, I absolutely loved it especially the coach driving part.

Wish we had instructors like you in Ireland, not the overpaid RSA boys that are making a fortune providing outdated driving techniques and expecting people to pass tests with absolutely no technical knowledge of how long vehicles navigate. Great content.

This is so helpful. Helps me to put my mind on turning, not just through driving practically, but understanding why first.

Thank you very much, it is helpful, allthough I am driving a bus in DK where we sit opposite. I have had lots of trouble trying to understand the steering technique, and given my driving teacher lots and lots of grey hair..

Finding this aspect of learning really difficult to get my head round. This is a great explanation.

I am a woman bus driver. On tight corner it is important to steer as slowly as possible and not to oversteer when you turn the bus from a side road into a main road, if there is no one coming from both sides you go as forward as you can possible then you steer but not too much and then you straighten, as well as this it is tricky at round abouts because when you go right you have to constantly avoid the hitting the round about just keep it steady but not too fast....generally it is easy to avoid kerbs if you also steer when your front wheels are past the turning point into the roads....tips are always welcome

Point of turn - of vehicles, mostly or if not all. Is the REAR tyres/wheels/ axle. It to be like the pivot point.

I was told to put gas before I learned and get used to swin and swing ... 😢sorry I may be dumb new bee but I'm not driving fast 9.5m bus between mad cyclists and pedestrians when I dont have basic training of narrow roads techniques...too bad for not listening, not going faster, too slow . I mean my fist 6 of 7 hours toke place at night rain in busy London ... no explanations and only "stear more to the right, stear left "... what i learn from instructions when im shaking around cars and pedestrians ...when after every curb must be explanation what we doing... and taking time to observe mirrors, somewhere were curbs are real and no other trafic. I had that proper training with cat C in EU . In UK i see how they create dangerouse drivers by teaching them speedy turns before they mastered the technique. Ones they bumb into new situation different situation ...they dont know what to do ... i dont want license with skills like that ... My nearside movement strugle and i never had slow motion adaptation. I can listen and do it, but im aware one day in situation that seems similar as training turns, but actualy isnt... i will pay the price for fake understanding and not proper basic preparation. To master techniques in vehicle speed must be very slow and that speeding slowly ... it may take 2, 4 h for technique only but then, another 2, 4 h for application on the road.15 h you only master top skils in traffic, but if first 5 6 are proper you may need 8/10 only . Here they telling you "go turn, gas, more gas".. and do all half way, no matter but 8h you must looks like you know how to drive ... Looks like *** speed and stearing make difference in the angle and that skill you can learn by practicing from lowest speed by building up speed day by day ...not for fixed paper work standarts...when i see my budies with 30, 40h before the exam passing road work closure and instructor correcting them ... i know they look good, they may get cat D, but they are not safe and 30, 40h been wasted.
Im going back to europe to learn and to work ... safety come first...giving up with 7.5h-1 h reverse, motorway 1h, 1h circling the garage, 3h around the shoping center in 5 fragments of driving ... and hour imaginary that I dont remeber...pushed to speed up, speed up ...
