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

Lucky he wasn't in the US (over there he would have probably been suspended from the ceiling - by a rope)  :rolleyes: :cool:

Being a bus driver my self, this bloke deserves everthing he gets.
Mind you the things I see car drivers doing whilst driving is really frightening.

using CSI computer technology the bus company found out the book to be "how to drive a bus", thus gave the bus company the reason to sack him ,,, he had no licence
