When I switched from driving trucks on Saturday to buses, one of the first things I did, as any responsible adult would do, was to try and drift the bus after my shift on the snowy roads.
It worked! I drifted my empty Citaro on the way to the depot at 11,45PM. Hahahahaha! Until I was stopped by the police about 10 minutes later. Apparently a bunch of old people saw this "out of control" bus, sliding about on the snow and ice and called the cops.
I got out of that one calmly explaining that the roads were too slippery and I did my best to keep the bus under control. Our buses only have traction control and no stability control and they are automatic, so they are more prone to sliding on very slippery surfaces.
Cops bought it. Probably I was the first man in my city to drift a bus.
Told the same story to my boss and all was good.
Now that I know buses can drift, I'm not gonna try and drift mine again on public roads.
What is the dumbest or weirdest thing you did just to say you did?
