I haven't taken a coach trip for a long time before the one mentioned above. The only thing that slightly concerned me and has concerned me in the past about other coach driver's driving and is frequently ignored by motorists in general, is non-observation of the 2-second stopping distance "rule" / recommendation.

Some other vehicle in front might be trying to overtake another vehicle but takes ages to do so because its only doing 3mph more (usually a lorry). The coach is then right up the ar*e of the overtaking vehicle because it won't slow down. If anything unexpected happens to the vehicle in front the driver leaves himself no thinking time and everyone's a goner.
