Either way, stupid behavior can't be excused.

Driving is NOT a mindless task; it takes active attention by the driver in order to be done safely, especially with a large vehicle such as a motorcoach.

Just goes to show that some people are brainless: there's scores of people out there that drive while talking on the phone, or doing other things they shouldn't.]]>Apr 18th 2008 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/bus-driver-chooses-gps-over-gigantic-warning-sign-plows-into-ov/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/17/bus-driver-chooses-gps-over-gigantic-warning-sign-plows-into-ov/

What you need are auto-sensing guns that shoot out the tyres of approaching vehicles that fail to stop, the driver would bloody take notice then.
