319 on the 651 heading up the Old Walsall Road about half 6 this evening, driving on the right hand side of the road and appeared to be racing a white van for a bit, then pulled in front and crept slowly up the rest of the hill in the middle of the road

Going to report it but figured id share it on here as well, I was in the car right behind the two and although found it a bit worrying also found it quite funny seeing a solo do that
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....

Exactly. These people who complain don't realise the person they're against is a person too who has all the same stuff that needs to be done like them. But once you're in work you're not a person anymore. That's in any job not bus driving. You lose the fact your human. /Previous Job Experience

Wow, ok wasn't quite expecting thinly veiled insults like that

Yes I am aware the driver is "a person' who possibly has a family to support etc
But... If this sort of driving is "ok, just because it keeps someone in a job" then what's the point? I for one, at the time, thought it was quite funny, but also dangerous considering the amount of traffic that use the road, if it was two cars doing it people would probably just think "ah its the usual scum", if it was a lorry they'd probably be quick on the phone to the respective company to report it

Regards being "quick to complain", its not exactly like it was a vendetta against a driver or there was the slightest infringement of driving standards or whatever, driving like that is surely worthy of complaint? But as you wish, as i have not yet sent in a complaint i won't bother, just to keep people happy

So if a driver's driving is dangerous and puts the passengers/public at at risk, you don't see the point in people complaining?  :o
We'll get rid of your bus to Wolves and replace it with one to Walsall instead.......... Oh the joy of a Network Review. -_-

Why not a quick word with the driver in question...?????
He would of probably calmed himself down.
NXWM will sack drivers over the silliest of things.
