SILVER SPRING, Md. - Pictures taken by a Ride On bus passenger in Montgomery County appear to show the driver reading a book while behind the wheel. ABC 7's Richard Reeve spoke exclusively with the woman who took the photos.
The woman, who does not want to be identified, says she took the photos because she feared for her life. She said she got on the bus only to see the driver reading while operating the bus.
"I was hoping we weren't going to get in any accident or hit another car, or end up on the sidewalk or something," the passenger said.
The woman says she uses the service nearly everyday and got on at Nicholson Lane in Rockville. She says while riding the bus for 20 minutes or more, the operator continued to drive and read.
"She was looking down for awhile, then would glance up, look down - I couldn't believe it," the passenger said.
The passenger says the bus would veer out of its lane occasionally and then the driver would straighten it out. While riding, one rider reportedly tried to get the driver's attention unsuccessfully by saying out loud, "Is she reading?" Still, the passenger ABC 7 News spoke with says no one confronted the driver directly.
