There surely HAS to be more than this to this story - we of course only have the mother's view of this and we all know that some Mums can think their DC are angels when they might not be quite so loveable to the rest of us....

how bad can a 2 year old in a pram be?

I've just seen this story too, if a bus driver can't drive the bus if there's a toddler making a racket, he shouldn't really be driving.

It'd be interesting to see the bus CCTV.

Perhaps he was just a grumpy twat?

i assumed bus drivers were deaf anyway... they are round here, they dont hear the bell ring (31 weeks pregnant with toddler in a pram, i'm not really happy about standing up before the bus stops,even tho they set off before i'm sat down)

Ah sorry, I didn;t know there was already a thread - one of my (single male) friends put it on Facebook automatically agreeing with the bus driver...

my hubby is a bus driver and would have done the same!!

@ AgentZigzag have you tried driving a 8 tonne+ bus safely when you are distracted?? If he has crashed and killed said mum and child he would have been told he should have kicked them off!! Bus drivers are not even allowed a radio on in their cabs as its a distraction so a screaming toddler would be very distracting

Funny how some manage to drive a bus and use a mobile phone though.

cobysstepmummy · 19/06/2010 19:33

@ Angelcat666 not all bus drivers do that!! they would lose their jobs if caught by the bosses, my hubby works for one of the biggest bus companies in the uk and America and they are very strict in what is acceptable they cant even answer a radio call from transport if they are driving.
