Bus driver sacked for playing GTA
A Lancashire bus driver has been sacked from his position for playing his Sony PSP whilst carrying passengers on a busy route.
One passenger commented: "He was playing a Grand Theft Auto game and the screams of the characters being shot could be heard all around the bus."I find it hard to believe that anyone driving a car with a PSP on their knee would be considered a safe driver - doubly so a person in charge of a singledecker bus capable of carrying 40 to 50 passengers."
The conditions on the route from Accrington to Blackburn were said be dangerous and icy.
The Managing Director of transport, Michael Morton said, " "We take a very dim view of drivers using any sort of device that will distract them from their job. All we are able to say in any of these cases is we feel that the appropriate disciplinary action has been taken."
I should think so as well! If you're going to use your PSP whilst driving a bus, at least turn the sound off.
