Steve Daniels
Steve is also the ABC11 investigative reporter. One of his proudest moments came in December 2007, when a new state law took effect banning school bus drivers from using cell phones while behind the wheel. Legislators took action as a direct result of Steve's investigative report "Dialing While Driving". The undercover report exposed school bus drivers using cell phones while driving busloads of children.
