I just pointed out that the person who posted the comment on the news item up thread made a valid point about a chap losing his job for using a phone whilst driving a bus. One of the points that the author made was, that perhaps a private "heads up" might have been appropriate. The bus driver would have had his card marked, and hopefully would not have used the phone again whilst driving, and perhaps he would not have lost his job. The result hopefully might have been a safer bus driver who was still in employment, and possibly one less enemy of the cyclist. A win win.
What we do not know is, that there may have been other things that caused the driver to lose his job, this may have been the a third warning for example.
I did not say I agreed with the point of view, I do not, I just said that author of that comment on the news site had in my opinion a point.
I really wish members of this forum who do not agree with each other could post their views and opinions without being rude and making personal insults. There is no need for it, this is meant to be a fun and friendly forum, although I find it is becoming less so, there really are some very unpleasant contributors here lately. I'm getting a little weary of it.
