Thank you Lu. You are absolutely correct! A complete review must be done by every driver renewing their license! There is no accountability to being on the roads! Get your picture taken, fill out a form, and you are good to go once again. There must be new laws put in place. Thank you for your kind words..... our family is devastated and this loss has ruined our family. We will never be the same…   more ›

@Tired Of Hypocrisy, even if someone is guilty and running from the police, that in no way justifies or vindicates a reckless officer or officers who brazenly fire at that person when there is no imminent threat. Especially not over fifty shots at a man who is running away from them. Police officers are entrusted with a great responsibility to protect us all. They are trained to deal with …   more ›

I think everyone should have some kind of review of their driving skills every couple of years. While the elderly may seem to be a logical focus for this kind of action, there are a lot of not so elderly drivers on the road who drive recklessly and irresponsibly all the time. Some due to drugs and alcohol, others because they are just stupid. Retaking some kind of a drivers licensing skills test …   more ›

All these negative comments about the bus drivers and assumptions about the accident itself, make me laugh. People make it seem that most bus drivers are bad drivers. Do you really know how many buses travel up and down Street road throughout the day. Centennial has over 80 buses and vans on the road at any given time during the day. First Student, Neshaminy, BenSalem, and Council Rock all have …   more ›
