Good on you Detective Malarkey for saying something to the driver and well done for helping a fellow passenger
in a wheelchair, whether the driver is in breach of Health and Safety by helping a wheelchair or not is irrelevant, It is common sense and courteous...
Yeah unfortunately that's true. The ideal solution would be to do what London do, and like the ex-London President's are configured, i.e. without any seats in the wheelchair/buggy bays. It discourages people from using them who don't need to.
Good on Adam as well. It's pathetic the way Health and Safety is always used as an excuse, despite those using it never being able to point you to the particular piece of legislation that they're referring to. The key to Health and Safety is identifying and preventing risks or hazards prior to them occurring. That being said, a wheel chair user trying to alight without a ramp and assistance is surely a bigger hazard than assisting them. Or even better - move the bus a few feet.
