Keep Dangerous Bus Drivers Off the Road

The driver of a Baltimore school bus that crashed into another vehicle last month, killing himself and five other people, was driving 57 mph in a 30 mph zone, had a record of previous crashes and had been taking medication for seizures, investigators reported this week.
