In response to a question about being an experienced driver and whether they felt their role included having conversations with customers they responded by saying that they would not always have conversations but on this occasion they felt uncomfortable with the customer and tried to have a conversation to break up the journey. In response to a question they advised that they told the customer about local places of interest but did not take them to any.
