An amusing video from the Newsflare archive of a bus driver in Malta struggling to drive with a loose steering wheel.

The footage, captured by tourist Hannah Billen in 2014, shows the driver attempting to operate the bus despite the steering wheel becoming detached.

The driver can be seen battling to manoeuvre the vehicle with the rickety wheel until it eventually falls off in his hands.

“Luckily the bus had just finished driving around a corner before it came off. The driver then waved it to a fellow bus driver before telling the passengers to get off and wait for another bus - leaving us stranded in the middle of nowhere!” Hannah later wrote online.

According to local reports, the driver has been suspended by Malta Public Transport for unsafe conduct.
