      No, it’s because he was in the video conference while driving showing that he was distracted and danger to pedestrians and cyclists.
      If he’s doing to drive recklessly he has no business deciding any matters of road safety.

      Distracted driving is pretty irresponsible and dangerous.

      Just this morning some guy blew through a stop sign and almost hit me. He had his cell phone in hand. Maybe he was on a meeting, too.

        I’m a school bus driver. Last year I had a cop blow past me at 40 mph in the opposite direction when I was stopped with my red lights flashing and stop sign out, about to let off a large number of kids who cross the road at that stop. If I hadn’t kept the door closed, they probably would have been hit. I glanced down at the cop as he passed and he was driving with his left hand on the steering wheel and his right handing holding his phone - he never saw my bus at all.

        We now have the external cameras that auto-ticket cars that pass us when our red flashers are on, but I wish to fuck we’d had them last year to catch this guy.

      Would you tele conference from traffic? Do you think that’s a good idea? Why or why not?
