– Many people put their lives at stake. Sharpen, is the prayer of a bus driver Andreas Bjornson. Tons berg Bald: Daily experiencing Bjornson nasty episodes. He fears that it will go seriously wrong.- Of course I think about that to happen a serious accident. The frustration is high among many of the drivers without safety vest, says the longtime bus driver.

Now he is so stated and worried that he has written a letter to the editor in Tons berg Bald. Among other things, he writes: I would venture a claim that many of the camouflaged playing Russian roulette with their lives and with us vehicle drivers involuntary participants. It feels at least as. He runs buses between Vassar and Holm strand. And some stretches are worse than others.- Especially Herten road between Tons berg and Herten, stretch Nykirke-Falkensten. Here is the bad lighting and it goes for 70 and 80 km / h. It is at times impossible to see if there are passengers on bus stops in the autumn darkness. They are dark from head to toe. A reflex had made the job much easier for us and much safer for those waiting for the bus, he said. Sometimes it is so difficult to spot the flare solve people that the bus passes.- At times we see them too late and priority to overtake before heavy braking. Leit for both driver and especially passengers who are left, he said to Tons berg Bled. Throwing reflexes He also tried to hand out reflectors to people coming on board the bus.
I find the same reflexes in bins on the bus, he said. District Manager Mette Magnussen Safe Traffic think it’s sad.- Then we have a problem, she says to Tønsberg Blad. Last year showed counts in Vestfold that just under 30 percent used reflex. – If someone has good ideas to get more people to use the flare, so it’s just to get them. Every year we out hundreds of thousands of reflexes. Where are they off ?, she asks. The case continues below. – It reduces the chance of being hit significantly if you use reflectors. Pedestrians must be helped to take responsibility. We like driving’ve all experienced almost running on a human being without reflection, says Magnussen. “Bus Driver is as usual equipped with infrared glasses” Bjornson also asked passengers about why they do not use reflectors. – Those who are young often answer that it is “stupid” to use reflex, he says. He writes in his letter to the editor that someone might think the bus drivers have special equipment on board buses. “The time is 5:04. Hvasser and half Brøtsø is deenergized, the rain is horizontal. Running Gateway to track 1 is opened, and beyond there are bus no. 1314 ready for darkness challenges. The bus is checked inside and out, and that all lights work. For light is important, especially on the outside, where it is pitch dark. Current bus driver are as usual equipped with infrared glasses, which allows a look as well at night as at midday. Radar and heat-seeking camera is activated, so that one can observe menacing pedestrians and passengers without reflective element of several hundred meters. Think passengers and pedestrians ?, – who reportedly lives in his own world, often attached headphones and is thus extra disconnected, “he writes. He has previously been a bus driver in Oslo, but the past year has 54-year-old riding in Vestfold. He also has 25 years in the automotive, where he ran a portion of the auxiliary for cars that customers would see pedestrians and animals better, writes Tønsberg Blad. – The problem of lack of reflex use is not new, but equally applicable. “All” in a hurry, he said. It is time that people clean up its act, he continues.”Students in elementary school, joggers and dog owners with dogs are mostly honorable exceptions, which largely uses reflectors and reflective vest. Some rare exceptions among our passengers, also deserves praise. Bus drivers in Unibuss (and other companies) are trying every day to do their best, and can always be a little bit better. But you can also, dear pedestrians: sharpening guys! It’s just taking on reflex when it gets dark, and I guarantee a smile when we meet, “he writes. The entire reading your post you can read here.
