bus driver caught doing paperwork

Passengers on a bus put a lot of faith in the person behind the wheel. A bus driver will shuttle many folks in his or her daily routine, and it's that person's job to make sure people get where they're going safely. One passenger on a Canadian bus line recently managed to capture a driver doing just the opposite.

As the bus was in motion, the man behind the wheel decided it was an opportune time to fill out a little bit of paperwork. The person holding the camera stated that the driver was also using his phone before switching to this exhibition of distracted driving.

Alonso: McLaren favourite to win

Fernando Alonso has tipped the McLarens as his favourites for victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix - although which of its two drivers succeeds will depend on the run to the first corner, he feels. Despite Sebastian Vettel maintaining Red Bull Racing's lock-out of pole positions this season at the Hungaroring, McLaren has looked to be a serious threat for victory, with Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button qualifying second and third. And Alonso, who will start from fifth on the grid, thinks it is McLaren that is looking stronger overall than Red Bull Racing.
