[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a grip, people. The woman made a mistake. And went through the judicial process to pay for it. She still has a license. How many of the carpool moms talk on the phone, text, or are otherwise distracted while driving? Would you cut a Mom from carpool for those behaviors, which can be just as hazardous as driving after a couple drinks? [/quote]

I would.[/quote]

I would not let my kid ride with someone who was texting and driving, or talking on the phone without one of those hands-free devices.  (Honestly, I don't like it even with the hands-free devices.)  Those are illegal behaviors that increase the chances of that person getting into an accident.  Ditto for a DUI.

Also, how does she still have a license?  Getting convicted of a DUI or DWI in Maryland carries an automatic suspension of your license for at least 45 days (the distinction between a DUI and DWI depends on your BAC).  So if she didn't take herself out of the carpool, she's been driving other people's kids around when she had no license.    [/quote]
