        He was 80 years old, had had 3 recent crashes and worked 70 hours that week, he should not have even been driving that bus. The bus company is seriously at fault, not just the driver.

        The company should be held responsible for allowing the driver to drive after all the hours he had driven the previous weeks. Drives hours rules​ are just a guide line and at his age (77 yes old) the company should have only allowed him maximum 8 hours a day 3 days a week.

        If Chander is 80 now, that'd make him 77 when the accident happened. Is there no retirement age at Midland Red? Unbelievable he was still allowed to drive after all the incidents in the preceding years.

        Questions have to be asked about the bus company's employment of this man at such an age and so many hours per week.

        Age should never be an issue, but it is an issue when an examiner wrote a damming report that the guy was dangerous. Stuff ever using a stagecoach bus.

        How can @aviva employ a bus driver aged 80 with dementia? You may as well give a loaded gun to a schizophrenic a tell them to go out and have some fun truly scandalous!

        Accident? As you say, waiting to happen but the circumstances suggest liability rather than accident
