    This is an absolutely HORRIBLE situation, punishing individuals for violations that were years old & accounted for.

    In a nutshell, this is outright misuse, if not abuse, of authority. It will not only cause the drivers to suffer, but their families will also suffer, HORRIBLE situation.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

    Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

    For those who prefer to read and not get caught up in all the drama. The public cried for accountability after the NH deadly accident and now they got it.

    Personally I don’t think someone should be driving a school bus if they have a legal issue from a oui/dui. I don’t care how old it is.

    MA uses a oui law for those that don’t understand. Simply get caught with the keys in the ignition is a oui..

    Hundreds of truck, school bus drivers told their commercial driver's licenses being revoked in Massachusetts

    I have a huge problem with this part of the law because it presumes that having the keys in the ignition means that the person has intent to operate the vehicle/vessel when someone might simply want to sleep while running the A/C or heater.

    As for the rest of it, MA should've sent notice to the affected drivers offering them the option of paying a fine or performing community service in lieu of having their licenses suspended or revoked.
