One day it’s gonna be one of us (a Megabus driver) It’s seems to keep happening to Nat Ex only because they run 100’s more journeys per day than we do. The law of averages will unfortunately catch up with Megabus one day - let’s hope that day is years away!

If that’s the case then these things should only happen to drivers that go too fast and/or go into work drunk! Most of us lot should be fine then.
For those crazy drivers out there, calm down! It’s not worth racing around (like most NXs seem to do I’ve noticed).
