Let’s dance

A Turkish bus driver was banned following the release of a film clip made by a passenger. This showed the driver dancing in the aisle of his vehicle with other passengers, even as the bus thundered along the road at around 112km/h (70mph). The authorities were less than impressed with the man’s antics and he was fined and banned from driving. With future employment as a bus driver unlikely given his misdemeanor, it is not clear if he will make the life switch to dance instructor instead.

Meanwhile one UK driver became so incensed by the poor road manners of others, that he fitted a police siren and blue flashing lights to his car. He started using this equipment every time he saw another driver using a phone while at the wheel. The police were less than impressed and he was charged and fined for impersonating an offi
