Title: Bus driver jailed for road rage

Thoughts about it:
A bus driver was being jailed for losing his cool when another bus cut into his lane along Farrer Road last May.It isn't the best part yet until it was known that he was actually ferrying teachers and students when the incident happened.After reading this,I couldn't imagine what were the reactions of the teachers and students when the driver suddenly stopped the coach at the bus stop and came out to have a heated dispute with another driver.I don't think it was a very nice scenario there.Furthermore,when he was jailed for five weeks in a district court for voluntarily hurting the other driver,he showed no expression at all.I was quite shocked about it as he showed no signs of regret for what he had done.It made me think whether the driver actually know what he had done wrong.
Publicly hitting a man and stopping his coach so abruptly,leaving his passengers wait for him to vent on his frustration on another man,I think that was going overboard.He should have managed his emotions better and jolly well reminded himself to behave himself when he was actually still working.His actions might have misled the students present that what he did was acceptable.They might start to think violence is another way to vent their anger or as a sort of punishment for those who had made them angry when they were unhappy.The reason for the rise of this dispute was also very minor---an unlucky driver whose bus blocked the driver and eventually got punched as a consequence. I do think the reason for this dispute to happened is quite silly.I agreed that it was partly the bus driver's fault to have cut his lane but doesn't he know how to just let this small matter off?
I hope that the driver knows what went wrong and reflect upon himself.After all,a moment of foolish act had landed him to jail.It isn't a very nice payback,is it?
