[Spridgets] Another Crash

Most of my accidents, and the only ones that have caused permanent 
damage to my aching body took place while I was driving a 40' long, 9' 
wide city bus.  The last one, and the one that ultimately caused me to 
retire, was an elderly lady, stopped at a red light, who accelerated 
into the side of my bus, hitting it hard enough to break the frame.  Her 
excuse - she thought I was in the left lane.

Other accidents involved cars ignoring 3' square red signs that read "Do 
not enter - buses only!"  Since they couldn't see the sign, it was 
obviously equally impossible to see a large object with all its lights 
flashing. If I had been able to convince maintenance t opaint large red 
targets on all four sides, people might have avoided hitting me.
