NTSB recommends cell phone ban for coach operators

Submitted by atu 1512 on March 3, 2007 - 12:25am.

A 2004 bus accident involving a low bridge on the George Washington Parkway in Alexandria, Va. (the same parkway that has claimed numerous bus accidents, namely a double decker type coach in early 1990's) was attributed to coach operator talking on a hands-free cell phone and not observing 10 ft. clearance signs for the right-hand lane. NTSB is recommending a total prohibition on coach operators from speaking on a cell phone/communication device. Click here for full report: NTSB Recommends Ban on Cell Phone use
