The short answer is, the guy knew his employer's rules. He knew the consequences of ignoring those rules. If enraged at anybody, he should have been enraged at himself. No speeding + no ticket = JOB. pretty simple. If I am not mistaken it's called taking responsibility for one's actions. Or something.
Fact is, you got him fired. Jobs are hard to come by these days -- you're lucky that he simply didn't come to your door and beat the snot out of you rather than venting over the phone. Sometimes it's better to live and let live than take actions that can ruin someone's livelihood.

Was the cult or the fast driving really causing you any harm? Chances are the worst case scenario would have been the bus flipping and killing a few dozen cultists. You didn't like them anyway, and it wouldn't have been your problem.

Lastly, his boss may have had a rule against fast driving and tickets. But boss-man may have also paid him by the job vs by the hour, or told him "I need this bus back at the yard by {an unrealistic time}."
