Don't Drink and Drive Children

Usually we expect professional drivers, such as truck drivers or bus drivers, to know the rules of the road better than everyone else. However, sometimes even they break them. But when they're caught, it's much more painful.

For example, Betty Burden, a school bus driver, was caught with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.226 - way beyond the legal limit. She was sent to a payless suspension.

The sad part about this story is the school district's inability to remove her from driving tasks. The rules say that the district must have proof that she is drinking, and believing that she's drinking is not enough to fire her.

Now, after she's caught, there is one less drunk bus driver on the road. It still doesn't make the roads safe.

Don't drink and drive!
