People who 'cock up' with a busload of kids shouldn't be driving. Surely a driver has to realise that he/she is responsible for a great number of young lives, and should not just drive into a low bridge? A young lady friend of mine was killed on her bicycle at a roundabout a couple of years ago, because the bus driver was paying more attention to getting into the flow of traffic than noticing a cyclist. Train drivers have to take stringent tests & exams before being allowed to drive a train, yet almost anyone who's ever driven can just get a job as a bus driver, and take out a large bus almost immediately. Many I've encountered personally have not been able to speak or understand more than a few basic words of English; one has to wonder whether such drivers can actually read traffic signs? I haven't heard any details of the driver; why, I wonder?
