On Saturday morning this happened:

On Monday, I emailed the vid into the BCC refuse collection email address and copied my email to the Councillor with cabinet responsibility for "Green, Safe and Smart City". He replied immediately promising an investigation. By close on Tuesday I had an email explaining that the driver had been trained by BCC back in 2001, had had no refresher training or assessment since and has been booked in for assessment on 31 July and saying that they would use my video as a prime example of how a BCC vehicle should not be driven. I am frankly amazed and delighted at the speed and positive nature of the response - particularly as this is the first time I have complained to an organisation about dangerous driving (I'm not so naive to expect that it will always be like this!). I have suggested that we collaborate on a safety video for all their drivers - a bit like the Lothian buses one. Not heard back on that yet.
