I was talking about using a car to shuttle voters....
Although until a couple of years ago I did have My bus licence be cause I thought when I retired that I might do that to pass the time butI started going to festivals after I retired, and never did get around to driving bus, so the next time I renewed my license, I dropped it because I would have had to go for a physical and pay another $25 for that slip from the doctor etc.
So I downgraded to GM.....dunno why I kept the M since I haven't driven a trail bike in 15 years....but it's not costying me anything to keep it.................





I thought you were commenting on the original story which is they no longer have to be qualified to drive a bus, not a car or van but bus, and place up to sixty people's lives in the hands of one of their own, who may or may not be trained or qualified to drive a passenger bus.... the best we can hope is that two of these buses collide every week with 100% casualties. ..........

Another idea from the Jesus crowd. Wait till the first lawsuit comes from
no drivers licence and someone gets hurt. Or are they covered by the
Jesus Insurance Company. Really anyone on the road should have to be
in possession of a valid drivers license that is their own. Its not about
religion its about public safety

Is that what you got from that article? Wow, I think maybe you should have your grandkids read it and explain it to you. They aren't suggesting anything of the sort. :roll:

and to drive a 45ft class A diesel pusher you only need a standard drivers license. There is nothing special about driving a "bus", especially when we are talking about those with standard brakes and not air brakes.

My understanding is that there is now an endorsement on your license for larger motorhomes. Could be just a BC thing.

You don't need anything in Alberta unless it has air brakes or more than one rear axle, then you require a class 3. Then if you want to pull a trailer, I think you would need a class 1.

Apparently Jesus wasn't driving in Florida Sunday.........






Eight people were killed and 10 injured when their church van crashed in Florida early Monday, officials said.

The Florida Highway Patrol said a preliminary investigation showed that a vehicle carrying 18 occupants and heading eastbound on State Road 78 passed through a stop sign after midnight ET. The van then careened across all lanes of traffic on US 27 near Moore Haven, struck an embankment ditch and ended up in a steep, partially water-filled canal, Lt. Greg Bueno said in a statement.








He said the driver and seven passengers were confirmed dead, while 10 other people were taken to four local hospitals.
