People across the country ride buses daily as their main means of transportation. In the State of California, a bus is typically considered a common carrier, which means that the driver is under the highest duty to act responsibly and protect the passengers while transporting them. Unfortunately, bus drivers do not always operate their vehicles with the utmost degree of care, therefore placing many innocent people in danger. It has become a common occurrence to turn on the evening news and see a report about a bus accident.
There are many factors that may contribute to a bus accident, such as faulty maintenance, negligent driving, dangerous streets and freeways and defective automotive parts. Bus drivers need to be observant to changing weather conditions, breaks in the pavement, and any other aspects that may require emergency maneuvering or a change in the way he or she is operating the vehicle.
