Could you please tell me if all the sentneces are correct?
Is there any different meaning between them?

2.It’s dangerous that people drive their cars and talk on the phone at the same time.
3.It's dangerous people talk on the phone and meanwhile drive their cars.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Mary goes to college; at the same time, she works as a waitress at a restaurant near her school.
Mary goes to college. At the same time, she works as a waitress at a restaurant near her school.

Mary goes to college; meanwhile,
