    we have to start calling business owners when we see their buses speeding so much, it is time we get drivers to take it easy, lives are at stake. they could kill somebody on the road. if we start making calls somebody will have to answer questions and the drivers will be more cautious in the future since it could affect their jobs. we need to get on the campaign trail to stoop reckless driving.

    The good bus drives too fast. Recently one crashed up a hill imagine the amount of speed you need to have to crash up a hill.
