Bus driver locked in stand-off with motorist that lasted an HOUR - and started reading his paper as he refused to budge. Traffic backed up for more than half a mile in both directions as both vehicles came nose to nose. Motorists got out of the their cars pleading with the two men to give way and in the end police had to be called to sort it out. The row caused traffic chaos as the two men clashed in a narrow residential road in Bath, Somerset on Thursday lunchtime.
