I drive these a school bus here several times a day and I see most everyone with a phone and a steering wheel. Please folks , stop texting when driving, it kills. And yet everyone thinks that they will never slip up. If you text and drive you’re stupid and stand of good chance of killing yourself and others. Stop it
