Report on their performance

When I lived in Haluaghat, I went by bus, every week, along that beautifully built road to Mymensingh to see friends and use their email facilities. It had double yellow lines on certain 'blind' corners which were the first I had seen here!
I often walked down the bus to tap the driver on the shoulder and say, in Bengali, “Double yellow lines in the middle of the road means, in every country, NO OVERTAKING because you cannot see far enough ahead!” (When the road was re-laid, the double yellow lines were not replaced - crazy!) I would report bad drivers at the Haluaghat bus station - and good ones too! I felt I was 'doing my bit' to see that bad drivers were warned and good drivers encouraged. (What is the point of being 'good' if no one notices? In some countries, everyone who gets off a bus thanks the driver!)
It is expensive to make a road divider on a major road but double yellow lines are cheap. They would surely help passengers to act more responsibly by shouting at the driver if he crosses the yellow lines and reporting him at the bus station or on a special phone number, advertised in the bus.
Many trucks in the UK, have a phone number on the back, and - 'Report if driven badly.' Why not? Bad driving shortens the life of vehicles and their owners should know. This is not rocket science but an exercise in corporate responsibility.
