Near-miss bus driver: 'My training kicked in'


	Quote: Bus driver Charmaine Laurie said her training kicked in as she swerved to avoid a car on the wrong side of the road during the treacherous weather conditions in Edinburgh. Footage of the near-miss was caught on the dashcam of a van and went viral on social media.

Double-decker bus sliding in the snow. I blame the Mini driver for that incident. Bloody stupid thing to do in that weather.

Yes, didn't think you could drift a bus in the real world

I think the most terrifying bus journey I’ve been in was on Guernsey where the driver clearly knew every turn inside out, and took them as speeds that were uncomfortable for the uninitiated.
