there are signs on the buses that read DO NOT TALK TO THE BUS DRIVER.
Why? It should be safe, right? The driver drives all day and must be good at it right?
Of course not, because it is and has always been a distraction. It is what was taught to me in Drivers Ed and Drivers Training. Anything that you are doing that is not about driving is a distraction. All the accoutrenments about the vehicle from GPS to the radio is about trying to make it seem like convenience for the driver, but in reality they are all distractions.
People forget that it takes a moment of a distraction to not see a child crossing the road, miss a red light, drift into oncoming traffic...
