If you saw the driver of the LEA SN transport bus....

[Blu]

....talking into his mobile while driving the bus laden with children round a corner...you would report him, wouldn't you?

I was driving the other way.

I'm not being a busybody?

yeh I would blu
stupid old fart could of caused an accident

no ours got reported and sacked, do it
oyur was talking to his stepdaughter (who is 19) and he was shagging her beleive or not and talking provactively ON THE PHONE in front of the kids

Report it in a flash. Chances are it would be much harder to evacuate the children in the event of an accident.
Ah, a story of everyday folk in Thanet (not that dissimilar to SE London) then Fio.
I do hope you realise that as long as you post in this name I get a mental image of my boot-faced and fun-free aged uncle of the same name

yes just normal Thanet folk Marina except i think the bus drivers are from Dover.........

report it, report it REPORT IT! absolutely, definately! well done for doing the right thing.

Yes it's illegal & totally irresponsible whilst driving a bus full of kids

GOSH thats terrible do it you have to i would be fuming if ds driver done this and no one reported him.

I have reported it, but not very confident that much will be done. The council switchboard would only put me through to the transport providers - I wanted to speak to someone in the SN Education Dept - the people, presumably, who commission the transport.

I spoke to a supervisor who said she'd investigate who it was 'and give him what for' - but she didn't sound at all official, iyswim. I might try a differnt tack tomorrow - and i will keep an eye out - I'm sure it's the same bus i see every day picking a child up from round the corner.

complain to the school as well they might have more"clout"

Put it in writing.
