If my boss wants to fit me a clean hygienic holder for my chewing gum that is fine, just don’t complain if it gets a bit dry or loses its flavour. :laughing:

I’m a London bus driver.
We have had CCTV on the driver all the time for years!

your brave admitting that on here

Not really. Most if not all modern bus fleets in the UK have CCTV on the buses. 1997 I think was the earliest vehicle in National Express and Stagecoach of buses to have them.

Cameras point down either side of the bus, out the front below the sign. Inside at the passengers. Down on top of the driver, another looking from above the drivers head out of the door as well as looking forwards from the middle of the saloon.

Winseer:
I won’t be working in any vehicle with a camera pointed at me. :angry:
I’ll just up sticks and work for a reputable firm elsewhere instead, and if I can’t get a job elsewhere, I’ll sign on STILL refusing to knuckle under to this BULLCRAP! :imp: :imp: :imp:

If firms want drivers that don’t smash vehicles up, don’t have points on their licences, and put in a good effort as standard, then they ADVERTISE for said driver quality and PAY the going rate!

That goes for me as well :imp:

just lay on the bunk and tug one off every nite, they will soon get bored of watching. :laughing:

Then they will think you like that sort of thing :slight_smile:

26

Some of the transport offices I’ve seen have staff themselves that would like that sort of thing!
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Couldn’t be putting up with that, I talk to myself fairly regularly through the day & wouldn’t want anyone knowing I’m a sandwich short of a picnic. :smiley:

Thank God for that, I thought it was just me! :smiley:

Yay there’s 3 of us :smiley:

Don’t these cameras only record 10 minute on a loop and only save the footage if a harsh manoeuvre is detected?

And when I wrote this some said that it’s exagerated: wapnet.eu/closely-watched-trucks :slight_smile:

like has been said above, most service buses have them fitted, bailed me out the crap a few times when a smart alec tries to pull on over when THEY bump into you etc. i talk to myself out of service, and sometimes in service! No one cares as no one watches. Our boss only watches 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after an ‘incident’. So if someone says a driver was out of order at 1005 he can only watch from 1003 to 1007 and if he sees nothing, end of matter.

I understand that a service bus isnt quite your ‘own’ cab you live in all week. but ive learned to live with them, and even when i do do something wrong, the only time anyone will find out is if someone else notices :smiley:

truckyboy:
The camera is the final straw…weve already got the spy in the cab to measure what stops we made, and for how long, how fast or slow weve been, what hours we ve worked, or havnt, Trackers to see where weve stopped, where weve been, and hows our driving today etc, etc, then we got the chip on the card, that tells us what we spend our money on, how we spend it and where we spend it, then god knows what technology is lurking in our mobiles…so i guess its time to join MI5 or MI6, as they say, if you cant beat em…join em.

they havent got any bags big enough for me :laughing: :laughing:

Bash one out whilst you’re driving down the motorway. When you get hauled in, offer to shake them by the same hand you choked the bishop with. :grimacing:
