Maybe the local health and safety departments in Turkey are even more zealous than those in the UK. Just imagine it………………….

I was in that part of Turkey a about 20 years ago, H&S is a no no , at least it was back then. Drivers “mates” jumping from bus to bus while we drove two abreast on the roads. To swap drivers the guy parked up, let the hand brake off, the bus rolled past he jumped in the back door, woke up his mate who ran to the front of the bus to jump in the drivers seat and take over. I also watched a guy on a building site (next door to the hotel !) build a ladder and hod out of bits of pallet and packing crate and use them to hike stuff up the very wobbly scaffholding.
