A BUS driver in Bristol has been caught on film smoking while at the wheel.
The driver on a Big Lemon Bus was filmed smoking at the wheel
Passenger Riley Whitman used his mobile phone to film him and claims he 'refused' to put out the cigarette when asked to do so by passengers.
Mr Whitman had been travelling on the X91 bus, operated by The Big Lemon bus company, between Bristol and Ubley in the Chew Valley on Saturday. He described how at around 2.20pm just by Bristol city centre, he realised the driver of the bus was smoking while driving.
He told the Post: "It was extremely distressing.
"The bus driver was smoking and refusing to put it out. It was completely unsafe and disgusting."
