Italian bus driver suspended for using mobile phones and steering with elbows

The governor of the region around Rome has asked for action over a bus driver filmed using two phones at the wheel and steering with his elbows. Using even one mobile phone while driving is illegal in Italy.

Lazio governor Renata Polverini condemned the driver's actions as "unacceptable and reckless".

"People who are responsible for the safety of others must not behave like that," she said, amid calls to have him sacked.

She said she had immediately asked for the regional bus company Cotral to take action.
