Ok, had to make the pax take their luggage up top and open all the bin doors, to reduce drag/push on the coach, but I'm still here typing this lot out without ever having any disasters like in the above movie clip.
We call drivers who drive so close to the edge or the road, " shoulders, or white liners" They are usually the ones who will have the most flat tires over a period of time.
the condition is actually a learned or conditioned trait, they align up the right corner of the hood from their driving position in a direct line from eyes to white line to give them a perspective of the location of the right side of their vehicle.
Flat seaters who drive with the air let out of their seats to be as low as possible use the front of the hood as a guide for following distances as well by picking a spot on the trailer in front of them.
None of these even realize this is what they are subconsciously doing but they will become hypnotized to the spots or the lines as time goes on.
