Driving a Bus talking on a cell phone I am glad I was not on the Bus I would of felt uncomfortable. Should a bus driver be talking on a phone while they have others on board? I think not. I wanted to report her. that is dangerous, and I even her it on the new about School bus drivers talking on the phone while driving Kids to school. I don't think no one should do it. but you see alot of it these days.
everwhere you look someone talking on the cellphone driving. it should be banned in the world! not the cell phone but driving while on phone. it is banned in some cities you could get fined. would you like it if your child was on a bus or school bus and this happen? I wouldn't like it! The Bus either for that matter!

I agree with you. I would have reported her right away. That is so dangerous to be talking on a cell phone while driving a car let alone a bus.

You are right. Using cellphone while driving is entails big danger. I just hope cellphone companies would campaign more regarding safe driving.

Yes Cell-phone Companies should boldly put on phone do not try to talk and drive. that's like driving and driving. waiting for a accident to happen.

yes, i think that they shouldn't do that. i also experienced one time i was riding a tricycle, the driver stop and answered a call. i was in a hurry and the driver was talking so long. i can tell that the conversation was not important. i was very irritated because he has a passenger and he should give priority to it.

How could a bus driver get away with this ? That is dangerous and scarey. I am thinking now how far does this go. I wonder if piloits do this also when they fly a plane.

i totally agree with you... it is annoying to see such an irresponsible people who talk in the cell phone while driving... he/she is putting people's life at risk including his/her own life... this is one of the major cause of road accident that can be avoided if people can just be a little bit responsible... also, i hate people who drink and drive... they all should get a heavy punishment such as cancellation of their licence, heavy fines or even jail so that they won't dare to do it again...

There is no way that I would want my child riding on a bus with someone that talks on the cell phone while driving. I think that is horrible and puts our kids at serious risk of injuries. It should have been reported. They should be focused on getting the kids to and from school safely. I wish talking on the cell phone was banned in my city and state but it is not as of yet.

I agree with you. People that talk on the phone while driving, put in danger the people that are in the car, and also the other cars. When you talk on the phone while driving, you don't pay attention to the road, and to other cars, and it's very difficult to prevent an accident like this.
In my country, when the police see a driver that talks on the phone, she immediatly give a report ticket. That's why we don't have so much people doing it, because of the high report ticket that they know they gonna pay when the police bust them.

I think that is wrong and plain stupidity if you ask me. Talking on the phone while driving a bus is very dangerous. As the busses are alot heavier to drive and cause more damage if there is an accident. i mean if i get a call while driving i just let it ring out and when i get to the place i need to then i call them back, if i have enough credit lol. you should of gotten the registration plate number and called up the counsil. i do agree with you and think all states should have no driving while talking on the phone. it is banned here but people still do it.

Wow! Um to which I reply: I DONT know what to say. What the heck? Why is a bus driver driving with a phone in the hand? Its one thing to take control of a car and drive stupid like while on the phone. Its another to be a BIG BUS. Those things DONT look easy to drive. You even need a different license to drive them. What the heck is the world is the world coming to if you even bus drivers use cell phones while driving? Pull over or wait till you are stopped. Dont be stupid and kill yourself and others for your stupid thinking! :(

driving and using a cellphone is forbidden here too but if you use a bluetooth headset it's not illegal... a bit stupid but i couldn't change it anyways. I hope you get the Driver reported so she get's some trouble for being that irresponsible.

I really don't agree with the idea of talking to a cell phone while driving..this is unacceptable actions to me because i can see that it will not endanger the life of himself but to other lives too..In some cities in the world..they don't allow anymore the use of cell phone while driving..no exemptions..if they were caught by the authorities , a huge fine will be charge..
