Rogue Bus Line, Reckless Driver Caught on Commuter Camera
Thu, July 27, 2017
Tonight a Benque Viejo-based bus line is under pressure - after one of their drivers was caught on cell phone camera driving recklessly on the George Price Highway.

Now, for commuters, this type of Mad Max driving is nothing new - it's par for the course between competing bus lines. And all commuters can do is say a prayer and hold unto the edges of their seats. That's because enforcement on the highways is, at best, lax, and rash bus drivers rule the roadways with demolition derby antics. But, this time, on Wednesday morning coming out of Belmopan someone caught it on camera. Jules Vasquez reviewed the shocking video:...

Jules Vasquez reporting
The video shows a Sylvan Bus trying to over take a J and J bus - both of them eastbound to Belize City. The J and J driver is deliberately hogging the road - using two lanes - so the Sylvan cannot overtake him.

When this Coke Truck over-takes the J and J - the Sylvan tries to squeeze in behind it - but the J and J bus then lurches back into the middle of the road.

And to show himself: the J and J driver pulls on his brakes and burns his tires on the road - just a few feet from the Sylvan bus. Great fun if you are 6 years old - but really troubling behaviour for a public bus with passengers on board.

Bus driver - Sylvan Bus
"They are playing with people's lives out here."

Undeterred, the driver continues to exhibit this wild and lawless behaviour - and here he is at the Cotton Tree bus stop literally parked across the entire road so that the Sylvian Bus cannot pass.

And here's the pot of gold at the end of this crazy ride - being first to the stop, he gets the majority of the commuters - who are already so used to this lawlessness on the road that they hop unto the J and J bus without even thinking of the driver who willfully endangers everyone's life.
