BoltBus Driver Texting While Driving

Given DCs recent Metro crash, as well as our nations many bus accidents stemming from texting while driving, recent findings by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute that texting is the most dangerous driving distraction, DCs five year old driver cell phone ban, etc, I would have expected Bolt Bus drivers to know better than to spend the majority of a four hour bus drive texting and blaring music via headphones.

I have contacted Bolt Bus but have had little luck. It's now your turn.

you bold passenger are the rudes people that i have seen but you guys target drivers look what the fuck the have to deal whit, they lie about the driver to get the money back ...........?

Just so we're clear, you sound very ignorant. Further, there is nothing dishonest about this video. It clearly shows a bus driver texting and driving on multiple occasions.

[Celkhoury1]

This was actually his first day back after being suspended for doing the same thing. Bolt stated that they could not fire him because his union protected him.

Whoever thinks that texting, talking on phone while driving while driving a bus full of people is okay is a complete selfish MORON! It is unfortunate that people like that were allowed to get a license in the first place!

[SuperEssee]

As a passenger, it would be wise to tell this man the no texting and driving law applies to him moreso wirh all the lives he has at stake. That isc crazy! Wouldn't allow it!

@dariobaguena why do you complaining about complaining?

[zzap999]

There have been 16,000 deaths due to texting while driving between 2001-2007. That's more deaths than any terrorists in the world has caused. Yet we spend billions fighting that.

[dariobaguena]

Can you people stop complaining about every single thing. The United States is full of complainers. Where I work there are always people who apparently do not do other thing than complaining about everything. Fuck off fucking complainers. Live and enjoy your life before you die. No GOD will give you a second life chance to enjoy what you did not do in your other life.

The Union can't protect him from being fired due to breaking the law, especially when there is public safety is at risk, and more so when he is a public worker. To my knowledge that is illegal everywhere now.

@GalacticCollision One can text safely while driving. Hold cell phone up. One letter, look out. Another letter, look out. No differenthan looking down at your speedometer or checking rearview mirror, then looking up athe road. I never text, but I do telephone. I hold the telephone up so that when briefly focusing on it, I am also seeing ahead. Then I look ahead. Most of my cell phone numbers are auto-dialed. I speak "Call ?". Then it dials the number. I also usearbud.
