WHILE travelling to work by bus down Talbot Road in Blackpool, I noticed the driver was counting his fare money.

He was driving with one hand, while counting the money with the other, which I think is a very dangerous thing to do - and not an uncommon sight to see on buses.

Surely people's safety is the priority and this counting should only be done on route when the bus is stationary or when it reaches the bus station.

This action is no different from a person holding and using a mobile phone while driving along and I wish it would be stopped.
