An analogy...

dennyBit of a tangential thought process that just occurred after posting this comment, might appeal to the bikers and cyclists amongst us...
Buses and Bullies
Buses are the exact road-going equivalent of the cliche school bully. They're big, heavy, and a bit, well, slow. They use their greater size to physically intimidate those around them who aren't so slow, occasionally causing quite serious injury in the process. Physical retaliation is usually pointless, although occasionally a well-aimed blow can have some effect. More useful is to report them to the authorities, which although it feels rather less satisfactory than just striking back, can potentially cause much more serious and long-lasting problems for them...
Erm, that was it, I think. And I haven't even been smoking.
