    Source evidence

    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to West Midlands Travel Limited; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to maintain adequate visual awareness and eye contact with other drivers when emerging from junctions

    Wider context from the report

    “1. Evidence emerged during the inquest that the driver either through training or discussion with work colleagues had developed a practice of only focussing directly ahead with minimal eye contact with other drivers when emerging from junctions. It appears this was done so as not to give any other drivers an indication to pull out in front of his bus. ”
