Quote from: Tony on October 04, 2023, 07:10:18 PMYou do realise they are automatic transmission?

The driver cannot 'rev it a lot in First gear'
technically on the platinums [not the walsall ones] repeated tapping and letting go of the pedals can get it to rev higher than it should- though it is pointless as it wastes fuel and doesnt make it go any faster. it also causes discomfort to the passengers and wears out the engine heats it up a lot when revving to the redline for no reason. 

obviouslty its stupid as well

So you've found a driver being a complete idiot while stationary that would put him in most company's disciplinary system for trying to wreck the fluid flywheel on a bus. Once they are moving there's nothing you can do as a driver to make them do any unusual gearchanges.

the first 20 seconds is where the gear slipped into neutral was a unexpected accident actually.

after that he starts tapping the pedal
