Bus Driving
Product code: FDAYE
Did you ever watch 'On the Buses' and wonder what it would be like controlling one of these awesome beasts of the road? Well here's your chance to experience a double decker bus, in this unique driving session.
You will learn how to manoeuvre a double decker bus safely around a pre-defined course with an experienced instructor by your side. This giant activity will give you an insight into what it's like to get on the buses! The short wheel base and long overhang takes a bit of getting used to, especially when manoeuvring into coned garages, pulling out of T-junctions and circumnavigating roundabouts. Can you stop accurately at the bus stop?. Changing gear smoothly, with the fluid clutch is easy going up the gears, but going down? Easy if you know how to double the clutch. Up to 73 seats fro your friends and family to join you.
