Texting when not driving, making a fuss for nothing. The one shooting the video is driving too…
Two FERDS.
I took this video and I wasn’t the driver.
Never ceases to amaze me what idiots can come up with.
This driver should be fired immediately.
Very unfair and misleading headline. He wasn’t driving when he was texting. It may be technically illegal because he wasn’t in park. But totally unfair. Nothing new on YWN
And YWN is lucky that driver isn’t me because I’d sue them for defamation and that’ll be the end of YWN as we know it. Shame on you.
based on the angle of the video hard to believe this was shot by the passenger. the passenger would have more likely shot the video through passenger window
Talk about Obama or HRC or Trump. But this is pure LASHON HARA!!!
No driver shld ever be texting while driving, more so a school bus driver. He has a responsibility to all those parents to get kids home safe. Our kids are on that bus. This is the only video you saw, how about the 20 others we don’t see. And yes it is a very big deal.
Borough Park is full of bus drivers that both text and talk on the phones while driving their busses. So do the police! Ain’t nobody giving them no tickets! Any bus driver caught texting should have his license suspended for 90 days. Talking on the phone, maybe 30 days. Children are at their mercy and so are all the other pedestrian and vehicular travelers.
Ferd is right. And as a parent I don’t care if Ferd was driving while texting in his car. I do care if my sons bus driver was.
Ferd is right even if the video was shot by the car driver there is a big difference when you have a bus full of kids he should loose his job

I guess you’re not in the USA where the driver is on the left and passenger is on right. This is clearly taken from passenger seat.
Please parents catch them with videos when they pass red lights etc. In all of the boroughs!!!
I’m not sure what passes for brains in Lakewood or BP but anywhere outside of the NYC area, a school bus driver would be fired for texting, even if the bus was stopped at a red light. There is a zero tolerance policy in most school districts given the consequences of even a brief diversion from the traffic.
While the driver is violating the NJ Distracted Driving Law I doubt highly anyone can state with certainty that he/she was “texting”. However, as in NY, the law does not define driving.Judges in NY have dismissed tickets when divers were stopped at red lights as the car was not in motion and therefore the driver was “not driving”. For at least 17 seconds of this video the driver was stopped.
It’s illegal to drive with a cellphone in your hand as this driver was clearly doing at the end of the video
