Why aren't UK bus drivers given training regarding suicide bombers?


Additional Details
For those that use this as an excuse to criticize bus drivers dont bother. Please dont forget that a bomb was detonated on a bus in London and it is common practice is many countries.
Those that criticized also have no concept of what is actually involved in driving a bus. Please have a little respect for those drivers that take people to school and work around the country everyday.

There are programs to teach bus drivers to inspect their vehicles before they drive them and what things to look for that might be suspicious.

I have the greatest respect for bus drivers. That is a lot of responsibility that you get little recognition for.

Trained to do what exactly, it's not something that's easy to prepare for...

Why are the stupid evil people which commit these crimes allowed in this country ?
We cannot train everybody to cope with every type of terrorist action. the better plan is to kick them out

Not to sound obtuse, but, training to do what exactly?

They are driving a bus. Not arresting terrorists.

I would rather train them to stick to a timetable and be polite.

What planet are you from? Congratulations on asking the daftest question I've seen for a long time.

Costs. It costs a lot of money to train, and it's not a situation that often comes up, I'm sure they are given some sort of idea of what to do, but there isn't much they can do- when crazy wants to blow himself up, it's every man for himself!


tommy
because its hardly a common occurrence here is it?

Because terrorists don't like the air conditioning!

Would you like all bus drivers to be martial arts and unarmed combat experts? And if training for either of those takes too long how about we just arm all bus drivers with guns, knives and hand grenades? That would certainly make me think twice about trying to blow a bus up if I knew the driver was more heavily armed than Rambo.

Because they will likely never need it

What crap are people talking, how can a bus driver stop a suicide bomber? Get a grip...

LOL! What kind of training can you have against suicide bombers?? Not like you can do anything about it is there? Anyway, the UK isn't quite Israel yet.

A very good question! I think it is all down to our negligent government. We should always plan ahead incase these things happen, maybe if we had done before 05 the London bombings wouldnt have occured and lots of lives could have been saved!

Not even the military gets training on suicide bombers. They just shoot! Those people are nuts and there is nothing you can do if they strap a bomb to themselves. Just don't be near them. That is why they do it. It works and there is no way to stop them once the bomb is on a person
