Hawaiian bus driver loves his PSP a little too much

Last week in Hawaii, Ms. Denita Waltz was horrified to see the driver of her bus engaging in something else besides, you know, bus driving -- he was enjoying some gaming on his favorite portable, the PSP. Not only that, he was "speeding on the highway," and he "had his legs and feet up on the dashboard."
Waltz wasted no time and took out her trusty cell phone and begin recording the multitasker in action. When the bus stopped, Waltz and her son hurried off the bus. Oahn Transit Services has suspended said driver, who is an eighteen-year veteran with no complaints lodged against him in the last three years, without pay pending an investigation.
Children, don't play and drive!

So not only we don't get games on this system, but we get bad press linked to it? Sheesh, we don't get a break, do we.

Of course, we must all recall that negligence like this is what led to Kenny's death in South Park. Best Friends Forever, I believe it was called?

If this dude can take down Yian-Kut Ku while driving a bus with his legs up on the dashboard, he deserves OLYMPIC GOLD, dammit, not a suspension!!

He was continuously playing his video game on the bus.
Continuously.
CONTINUOUSLY.

Just because this guy can multitask and you can't, doesn't mean he should get fired. You're just jealous lady. He's an 18 year bus vet. He can probably drive circles around that lady's minivan.

Back in my stupid high school days I mounted one of those tiny PSone's with official screw on LCD's to the dash of my truck and I would play Tekken at red lights. Ahhh the good old days... was that so wrong?

OMGOMGOMG, this guy is now my role model! I vow to do this one day.
*Adds to his list of things to do before I die*

ok, is everyone too stupid to know how dangerous this was? he could have killed someone!!!! what if the bus went off a bridge or ran someone over? he deserves to be suspended for this negligence, and he should count himself lucky no one was hurt, else he would be behind bars by now

i saw this when it first came out on gamepolitics.com but personally, i think it looks like a ds. but regardless of what he was playing, thats just messed up. even stupider than texting, or having headphones in, or uh... something else. i dont care how good you are at multi-tasking, you aren't this good

Hey driving a bus is hard.
j.howlett @ Oct 1st 2008 6:14AM
i know it's not the best time to do it but he's been driving a bus for years. what if he's just that good?
Bryan @ Oct 1st 2008 12:05PM
i can only play at red lights he must have been looking at porn or something.
Gurbinder @ Oct 1st 2008 5:19PM
Omg i hate ugly old ladys like this who complain at the slightest thing. Then again i would mind someone playing a psp since my lifes in jepodary but still i would leave the bus.
Gotta give the guy props, for playing a psp and bus driving at the same time . Only the hc can do that. lol.
