Commercial Drivers Texting On Mobile Phones Are A Menace And Cause Accidents

A highway safety group has petitioned the U.S. Dept. of Transportation to prohibit texting and cell phone use by commmercial drivers nationwide.  This comes in the wake of some horrific tractor trailer and commercial bus accidents resulting from cell phone use by professional drivers.  I say "it's about time."  As in "mandatory jail time" for any commercial driver that gets caught.  Think that's too heavy handed?  Check out the video on this link of a bus driver texting just before he crashes into a car.  It might change your mind.
