Killer bus on Anzac Hwy WMW174

See all reports on faulty buses here:

On 24 June video footage and correspondence was sent to Director of Road Safety, DTEI, Mr Martin Small, stating It is only a matter of time till a cyclist is injured or killed due to this fault. A reply on 30 June stated this information was forwarded to the Departments Public Transport Division.

At the request of an administration person from the Department of Transport, I sent a second copy of the letter and CD (Video) to Dept of Transport, 71 Transport Rd, Netley, on 7 August 2009.

I have received no response in this regard, and from this video evidence (24 Jan 2010) of bus WMW174 there seems there has been no effort to remove this hazard.

I have telephoned the office on 2 February 2010 with a request to be called back.

My concern is that;
- faulty buses are not identified by the drivers, inspectors or maintenance inspection processes, and
- no action has been made to remove this hazard, nor improve processes to prevent re-occurrence.

hi, i am an ex driver myself (in adelaide). i drove for two years before giving up. i agree, drivers are not being trained properly and not being taught correct road rules and hazard avoidance. i have noticed that a lot of drivers now are not positioning the vehicle correctly on the road, (too far to the left and over the line). the other problem is too that you book the bus off at the end of the day with the fault/issue, only to see it or get it the next day with the same problem/fault.
