Around here the bus drivers are pretty smart, but they have to put up with an awful lot of really stupid pedestrians, so they can get impatient. We're here moaning to each other about the stupidity of other people on the road, right? I'll bet bus drivers do the same.
I will agree with you that it's far more important to not argue with physics, regardless of the driver's intelligence. A smart driver can't stop a bus any faster than a dumb one.
