Driver Stops Bus to Pray

A Muslim bus driver stunned passengers when he pulled over and started praying in the aisle - with the engine still running.

The driver parked without warning then rolled out a fluorescent jacket as an improvised prayer mat.
He took off his shoes, knelt down facing Mecca, and began to chant.

The prayer session held up the bus for more than five minutes with no-one able to get on or off.

Passenger Gayle Griffiths complained to Transport for London about the bizarre incident on the No.24 bus in Gospel Oak, north London, this week.

Could easily have caused chaos if somebody had panicked and dialled 999, thinking they were about to be blown away!

Does he stop the bus five times a day to pray? Does he refuse to have any contact with the infidels, or kaffir, if he is that devout? If not , he is taking the *weewee*. If yes, then he shouldn't be doing the job in the first place.
I could be wrong, but I have heard rumours that sometimes people use their religious conveniences to get sacked from a job in order to allow them to go back on benefits while working cash in hand as a mini cab driver or in their uncle's convenience store!
I know I find it very hard to believe too!

Someone has made that up in my opinion.
