Phone use throughout journey, not paying attention to the road, sometimes while overtaking other vehicles. Nearly hitting a barrier at a motorway as a result. Constantly swerving at high speed. Overtaking a vehicle around a bend, as well as vehicles in stretches of the road where overtaking is not permitted. Driving in the middle of the road most of the time, not staying in one lane. Driving way too fast around sharp bends causing the bus to nearly tip. In addition, the journey was significantly delayed by the driver announcing multiple breaks less than an hour apart early on in the journey. With the added wait at the border the journey to our destination too k nearly twice as long as advertised.
