    Drivers on my street including the yeshiva bus drivers speed while texting. The are finally getting involved. 10 kids in a beaten van with a distracted mom is disastrous but no one cares.

    Can’t really blame her, as she was looking at the new Forshey/Monsey blog site “Acher’s Musings”. Still watch where you are going.

    People who talk/text on their phones while driving are just as dangerous as drunk drivers. Hence, they should be treated as drunk drivers, and should be promptly arrested, and have their licenses suspended, period!!
