    Yeah i'm the same mate! Green road does get to you mentally. I've been at Plumstead garage since December and all the old drivers say the same about not worrying about Green road but as a new driver like you and myself it's hard to not worry about it especially with the probation meetings you have throughout the first year. At one point I was #1 out of all the drivers on the 177 route I had a perfect score of 0 and I saw Green Road flash amber I was really annoyed with myself and it put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. It is honestly virtually impossible like you said to keep a great score especially with the idiot drivers out on the road. Great vid!

      I try not to worry about it, now. I was told by an old boy to cover up the lights. The 177 is a long old route. We need to have a chat, drop me and email and I’ll send my number over.

    I am a new driver and can contest that green road makes you more aware but it is also distracting as you said not all busses are the same, all depends on the suspension.

    Bromley! Great video once again Mike! I really like he fact that there are multiple cameras on a bus - but the idea of green road, which I did mention on Taylor Straub's video regarding it, is that the added pressure it puts you drivers, especially the new one is immense. I think that to a certain extent it decreases the quality of driving - that constant fear and all about that amber or red showing is not good for the driving or mental health of the drivers! Anyhow, keep it up!

    • @_Mikes_Life
      @_Mikes_Life  3 года назад +2

      I’ve heard new drivers say they thought about running a red light, and risking three points, so the green Road wouldn’t go off. Crazy but I understand it.

      how strict is management tho when it comes to greenroad, if you get too many ambers or reds will you get punished badly? If you don't then I don't see the point of worrying too much. There's regular drivers who have similar driving styles which would pop off greenroad and they've been driving for several years so I can only assume they don't really get into trouble with it unless they have an accident

      Agree you with you on that.
      I was driving the 208 when it was still at Bromley up Bromley Road.
      It was on diversion through locksbottom and I had an E400.
      There was a man sitting in the single chair behind me. So as I took the corner to go into Locksbottom by the Sainsbury’s from the lights, I just heard a massive thud.
      I stop at the bus stop and see a man on the floor with his head cracked open. I was like WTF 😳.
      After a few weeks I was called in my the AOM and told me that I wasn’t at fault as the man was in a deep sleep and fell out of the chair when I took the corner.
      The bus actually had a CCTV camera specially installed right above that chair.
      I am guessing that was a re-occurring issue there coz Plumstead or Catfords E400’s never a camera there 🤣🤣🤣
      That CCTV camera saved me from a warning

    Great video Mike. At least the passengers will have an insight into what you are trying to achieve to give them a comfortable ride. I
    think some buses are calibrated different to others. There were a few buses that you knew wouldn’t stay in the green where others would. We were encouraged to report the bus to the team. If enough did they done something about it. Nearly missed Bromley

      At Go-Ahead we use something called Mix Telematics
      Very similar to Green road but less stricter on its monitoring
      We only get penalized for harsh breaking, quick acceleration and idling.
