Texting School Bus Driver

Another American story, this time about a school bus driver in Connecticut (link now dead – it was on the CBS News website) who sent over 1,000 text messages while driving between April and May 2010.

The investigation appears to have been triggered by alleged assault by the bus driver’s daughter on the autistic daughter of another parent. But the texting problem was revealed by surveillance cameras set up to investigate the allegation.

We have to remember that this isn’t an “American thing”. Obsessive texting is a real problem in the Western world.

This story has been picked up by the Daily Mail over here.
