Could you correct this paragraph please?
Hi teachers,
Could you correct this paragraph please?
Remember Tim Scott? He is the man that spends a lot of time in pubs. Well, he used to be a bus driver, but he is not anymore. Why? Because he drove really badly and dangerously. In fact, he had three accidents in one month. The worst one was when he ran into a police car. He lost his job immediately after that.
Thanks in advance.

I would say "he used to be a bus driver but not anymore". (I'd drop the "he is " part). Also, "in fact" seems misplaced there. I would say something like
In fact, his driving was so bad that he caused three accidents in (just) one month.
