coach/bus driver on the bus on his mobile phone, talking and texting (see both video's) Video 1

This is what happened to me when I took the coach 22 October 2010 at 17.00 from Turin to Milan Malpensa. You still wonder how we have all these accidents with busdrivers all over the world? For your info, this is the law in Italy: Mobile phone usage is not permitted while driving (only hands free).

do you know that in Italy you can talk on the phone to the bus drivers? Italian highway code code 173, the next time before shooting a driver who is talking with a colleague, in fact at the end he says "good job", informed !!!!!!!!!!!

@cilval Oh yes? What about this?

Italy: it is an offence to use a mobile phone (though not a hands-free one) while driving under article 173 c.2-3 on traffic regulation. It is punishable by a fine of between €33 and €131.

Send me the part that shows there is an exception for busdrivers. The driver both phoned and texted non stop while having a coachload of passengers. It was just scary! He was well out of line and surely breaking Italian law.
