I don't text because I don't have a phone with that feature and I don't talk on the phone while driving. I do obey most laws (using turn signals, staying out of the passing lane unless I'm passing, etc.) but I admit to having a tendency to drive above the speed limit and if I'm on a Turnpike and there's little traffic, you can bet I'm doing at least 15-20 mph over the speed limit.
I sometimes flitter my tongue like a snake and if someone looks at me, I quickly look ahead and pretend I didn't do anything weird. Not while I'm moving, that's just when I'm stuck in traffic. One time I handed someone a gummy worm when we were stuck in a traffic jam. He was jealous when he saw me nibbling away at them while we waited, so I gave him one. Unfortunately, I can't always keep a bag of gummy worms in there because if it gets too hot, they all fuse together into one giant gelatinous blob.
Speaking of braking, you might have noticed that buses usually have something resembling a gas pedal for the brake. The first inclination is to use it like a gas pedal, by bending your ankle, but you immediately learn that you have no feeling that way: you are either going or stopping. You have to raise your knee and put your toe on the pedal. Then you can feel the braking action and regulate your pressure on the pedal. And they don't teach you that in bus driving school.
We are talking about air brakes, and the problem is that you simply can't feel through your ankle. But if you lift your ankle off the pedal and use your toe, it feels like you are driving a cloud. (A 45 foot long cloud!)
If you went to the same school as the bus drivers on my express bus, then they didn't teach you how to drive well at all. It's like whiplash - hit the brake, hit the accelerator - hit the brake. By the time I get home, I'm nauseous and I need a cervical collar.
