Report
Cowboys. Road Rage idiots got out of car and tried to start a fight with a school bus driver infront of me. Little kiddies onboard. We all had to sit and watch because they parked van across a roundabout. Would not trust these guys in my house or my business! They clearly could not give a toss about their own reputation if they behave like this in a liveried vehicle in full public.
