Title: Bus driver filmed reading while driving in Birmingham (UK)
Post by: eye30 on April 21, 2010, 19:39:47: What a plonker plus a few other well chosen words which I can't say.

A bus driver has been suspended after a passenger filmed him apparently reading while driving along a dual carriageway in Birmingham
