Been on Routemasters back in the day when the drivers went around roundabouts like that  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Chicago is getting ready for NASCAR street racing this summer. Gonna be weird. Drivers will actually have to turn right.  :o

London buses can tilt quite a way before tipping over  https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/collections-online/photographs/item/2002-18969       There's a fair number of articles and pictures on the interweb if you search  London bus tilt test
