Bus Driver Liability
Annually there are many bus accidents, in which the bus driver did not take their duty to the passengers as seriously as they should. Driver neglect can include failure to pay attention to the road, which can lead to a collision with another vehicle, an object or pedestrian. It can also cause the need for the bus to swerve or another vehicle or an abrupt lane change and some bus crashes happen if the bus driver is driving at too high of a speed for weather conditions. A report by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Administration showed that the majority of devastation occurred due to poor judgment, speeding, inattention and driver distraction, in some cases this was coupled with fatigue or other influences. As a result of these types of accidents, at the National Distracted Driving Summit, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration introduced new rules that prohibit bus drivers and truck drivers from texting on the job. Their evidence shows a probability of increased bus crashes due to cell phone use and other distractions.
