Phuong Trang bus driver filmed
rolling rice papers while driving in southern Vietnam
In this still image
taken from the video, the driver neglects the hand wheel to focus on rolling
the rice paper.
A
driver for Phuong Trang, a popular Ho Chi Minh City-based bus line, sparked
outrage after a video appearing to show the driver neglecting the steering
wheel to focus on rolling a rice paper surfaced on Thursday.
The
39-second footage sent shivers down people’s spines as the driver is seen
completely taking his hands off the steering wheel and leisurely wrapping the
rice paper while the vehicle was sped down an expressway in Tien Giang
Province.
The
video was first posted on Facebook by one of the passengers, Tran Thanh V.,
who said he was traveling on the Phuong Trang passenger bus from Ho Chi Minh
City to the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on June 5.
V.
said the driver’s main priority seemed to be enjoying his meal, rather than
the 40-seat bus he was meant to be driving.
Futa
Bus Lines, the operator of Phuong Trang passenger bus fleet, has confirmed
the man in the video is one of its drivers, Giao Thong Van Tai (Transportation),
a magazine run by the Ministry of Transport, reported on Thursday.
Dang
Trong Hien, deputy general director of Futa Bus Lines, said the company has
discussed the issue with the driver, who admitted his wrongdoing.
“The
driver’s assistant was eating rice paper and invited the driver to enjoy it
with him, which led to the incident,” Hien told Giao Thong Van
Tai. “This driver has only worked for us for a few months and we
have suspended him to verify the incident.
“We
will levy strict penalties on any act that causes danger to passenger and
ruins our reputation.”
In
June 2015, a driver of Hoang Long Co., a long-haul bus operator based in the
northern city of Hai Phong, was also caught in a video neglecting the hand
wheel to focus on his socks and shoes while 40 passengers sat behind him.
