UNRULY PASSENGERSThis is a very rare occurrence, but one that needs to be mentioned. If apassenger ever displays threatening behaviour to the Driver or any otherpassengers, you must stop the Minibus as soon as is safely possible (e.g. pullinto the hard shoulder on a motorway). It is then the Driver’s decision as towhen and whether they think that it is safe again to continue. This may meanasking the unruly passenger to leave the bus and not continue the journey withthe rest of the group. Where possible BEFORE asking a passenger to leave,please call the Students’ Union on 01483 689223 (09.00-16.00hrs) or UniversitySecurity 01483 682002 (16.00-09.00 hrs) to alert them to the situation and gainadvice. If the situation becomes unmanageable, call the police immediately on999, or if you are on Campus call Security on ext. 3333, or on 01483 683333.On your return to the Campus you will need to complete a University Incident& Accident Report Form (available from reception in the Students’ Union).SECURITY DO’s & Don’ts WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLEFUELA moment’s thought goes a long way towards protecting your vehicle.
