We were on a bus in Norwich recently, and the driver was stitching along, when suddenly a car pulled out in front of us. He jammed on the brakes, and my goodness they were sharp, the bus screamed to a stop and nearly all the passengers fell on the floor, one woman flew out of her seat and landed right up the front beside the white-faced driver. I bumped my chin on the seat in front, but my husband was nicely jammed in his place by my large derriere. I feel that there should be seat belts in buses!
(PS The driver came round asking for names and addresses of his passengers who were willing to witness what had happened, he was shaking like a leaf. I suppose the dreaded word COMPENSATION was looming large in his mind! Luckily nobody was badly hurt.)
