Over the years the gap between the minimum wage and new starter rates for drivers has come down to the point where only the desperate would consider it as a viable career.
How many jobs do you know of other than bus driving whereby you can make an honest mistake and end up going to prison for it, whilst offering a starting rate of pay of £10 an hour?
What kind of 'honest mistake' do you think would lead to prison, out of interest? First time I've heard that one, that's all.

It's not a problem with minimum wage rising. It's a decades old problem of businesses being allowed to drive down wages.
