    That's good work.  I won't even suggest it cause I know the answer is going to be "no way".  (This is a woman who grew up driving two-ton Ford stake body with a crash box around her parent's farm in Kentucky -- she's still a better 4-wheeler driver than I am -- but there's no way with the bus.)

I guess I am a lucky one. My wife and I started driving buses in
1985. We have driven all types of buses since, When it comes to
driving sometimes we flip a coin, and sometimes I actually get
to drive our skoolie.

It's starting to look like I may never get to drive the bus again-

BK -

Try this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K-IIuG10bs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K-IIuG10bs)

Had to futz with the URL a little before it worked.

The second one, tho, is set to private, I can't open it either. . . at least until Sean massages it a little.

FWIW & HTH. . .

;)

Thanks RJ that link worked better.

But ...... 2 things I saw the camera moving more than the bus (at least in that video)

And I know RJ would not teach a driver to do a rolling turn @ a stop sign without signaling!
;D  BK  ;D

The bus was signaling for a left turn.  You must have the wires from the directional signals crossed.
