There should be a third award, an award for having the worst drivers in the county, possibly the country.
On numerous occasions I have nearly been knocked off my bike by inconsiderate Ensign drivers.

Thurrockbob - So how many cyclists, pedestrians and anyone else has been killed or critically injured by the Ensign drivers? I can tell you - none. Considering the poor road layouts (look at the London Rd/ Motherwell Way example) and narrow streets in many parts of Thurrock I don't think thats bad going really. Perhaps if you had actually been knocked off your bike rather than 'nearly' you might have something to actually winge about?

Considering how dangerous many cyclists are nowadays, I'm surprised more haven't been injured. It clearly isn't because cyclists take more care, don't go through red lights and don't just swerve from one side of the road to the other without warning.

Ensign are by far one of the best bus companies to have serviced the area, and I for one am thankful for them.
