Everything you need to know about driving a bus can be learned through repeated viewings of "Speed" and "The Gauntlet." Or at least that's what I imagine DeCamp tells prospective employees. "Keep the pedal to the floor, and the bus won't explode or be riddled by snipers' bullets. Other than that, just use your judgment...."
Yesterday afternoon, Sunday, I was driving west on Route 3 when traffic slowed to a crawl around that newish strip mall with the Chipotle in Clifton. Turns out the two rightmost lanes of traffic were closed due to construction/repairs of some sort. Everyone was merging left. Out of nowhere, a DeCamp bus sped in from the right, passing a long line of cars whose drivers were patiently waiting to merge. Not braking at all, it swerved left across two lanes of traffic and onward.
All in a day's work for your fearless DeCamp driver. Take that, bad guys!
