Side-tracked bus driver "risked passengers' lives" when he was caught on camera 'texting'

A side-tracked bus driver "risked passengers' lives" when he was caught on camera 'texting' at the wheel.

As shown in shocking dashcam footage, the driver of the single decker bus can clearly be seen looking down at a hand-held device with his eyes off the road.

But he was spotted by a passing cyclist, who shouted at him to "put it down" as he approached a busy junction.
