Default Freedom passes unchecked

Is it illegal for busdrivers to question passengers' disability (or
apparent lack thereof) when fit young men get on and use their orange
Freedom Pass on London buses?

What possible qualifications would a bus driver have to check a person's
health or disability. Or, why should he/she be expected to? Imagine "Excuse
ME young sir, can you show ME why you have this disabled pass? If not, GET
OFF THIS BUS!"
This is 2006, and there is so much corruption everywhere in England from the
top to the bottom. London, especially, reminds me of Tripoli in the '50's.
Don't let it bother you.
