It sounds like the Germans need to get their bus drivers laid. Or at least they need to get ready for a shitload of harassment suits if this is how they treat their passengers:
After boarding a bus in the southern German city of Landau, Debora C. took her seat and waited to get to work, not realizing that the bus driver was making use of his mirror to stare into her cleavage -- to the point where he stopped concentrating on the road.
"Suddenly he stopped the bus, opened the door and snorted, 'Your cleavage is distracting me when I look in the mirror. I can't concentrate on the road. If you don't sit somewhere else, I'm going to have to throw you off the bus,'" Debora told Germany's Bild newspaper on Monday.
...
A spokesman for the bus company, however, said the driver acted correctly.
"The bus driver is allowed to do that and he did the right thing," the spokesman said. "A bus driver cannot be distracted, because it's a danger to the safety of all the passengers."

I was skimming the LiveJournal thread Sunburntkamel refers to in his comment, and came across his own comment saying that the bus driver in this case is unfit to do his job. I'd agree. How does he handle all the distracting sites on the streets of Landau if he can't handle the "distraction" of one attractive woman his rear view mirror? Then again, if he's so distracted by the women on his bus, he's clearly not watching the road very much.
...because public space really matters!
