focusing on their kids than focusing on the road. The biggest
distraction I notice is people driving while talking on their cell
phones.

I recently read an article about an undercover sting operation
which took place in Florida and I must say, I was somewhat
shocked. Apparently, there is a real problem in Volusia
County Florida when it comes to drivers passing school buses,
enough of one, the Volusia County Sheriff's Department
