A BUS driver has been sacked for playing a computer game behind the wheel.
The man had the Sony PlayStation Portable on his lap and was using it as he drove his route.
Passengers said the sound and music effects from the game were echoing around the bus.
And they said he not only used the game as he sat at traffic lights and in bus stops but also when driving on icy roads.
Bosses at Blackburn Transport in Lancashire received complaints from horrified passengers.
They sacked the driver after reviewing the CCTV images from the bus

LOL ;D ;D I read this in the national paper. Couldn't believe it. The game he was playing is known to be a notorious one. I wonder how he managed it though. In merton garage at the time I was day, 3 drivers got the sack just for using a mobile phone witha earpiece. It makes you wonder what kind of drivers are they employing down in Lancashire
