And another idiot thinks its "funny" and "normal" in the comments " It's funny and actually a breath of fresh air to see normal Teenage boy behaviour"

He could have ended up dead, doing it.

And the moment a kid falls under the bus, it'll be deemed NXWM's problem and there'll be outrage everywhere.

Edited to update.

Funny you should say that...We had the very same window kicked out on both sides to our (Arriva) 4411 in Erdington yesterday.

I'm aghast that the guy hasn't followed the guides on the road for the bridge. Even when the bridge is 3/4' taller than my vehicle height, I'll still wait to use the guides if there are other vehicles coming.

Comments on the article say that the bus would've fitted under there if the driver followed the guidelines.

Edit: it's a 13' 9" bridge. I'm sure someone'll know if that vehicle had any chance of fitting under that height.

Man smoking at the back of the top deck on the right on 4657 out of Erdington along Wood End Road/Bromford Lane towards Ward End this afternoon.
Should be clear footage of him on the CCTV I guess.
About 13:30.

I'd suggest reporting that directly to the company and/or the Safer Travel team if you want something to be done about it.
