the reason police are utilized on traffic detail,....or road repairs, is because the town/company doing the work...needs a trained observer there ........in case of an accident.

recently BigFish........... people operating motor vehicles while using a cell phone
were found
to have more impaired driving ability than people who were D.U.I..

so yeah ,,,the bus driver shouldn't be on a cell phone unless stopped.

on a side note....and i found this quite irritating,,,

Yesterday i got a phone call ok....and the woman on the phone says.... "FRANK? ...i said nope you have the wrong number... then she says ...well maybe you could help me then...she then tries to solicit a donation For the fraternal order of Police.... something i genuinely believe in donating to... But after paying for brakes all around...a tune up, and a new battery for the wife's car...way ahead of when the snow flies... we are just to broke (tight budget) to donate ....

but the thing that bothered me was that the conversation was being recorded... which was announced just before she started her worn out speech...so, i simply said Sorry! not today and hung up.
