My father is and has been a bus driver for close to 30 years.
Problem#1
Is the bus driver responsible for adjusting and properly buckling each child?
Problem#2
Booster seats, well most small kids need them to be buckled in your car right?
DOes the school supply them? or do the parents have to buy extra ones?
Problem#3
School bus driver going to be held liable for a child unbuckling one? Or not adjusting one properly?
Problem#4
Do we have to hire a attendant to ride the bus with the kids and properly buckle each of them? Cost???
Problem#5
Is it a problem? Is there so many accidents a year for the amount of miles driven that this is a issue? Or are we creating a fix for a problem not even here?
Is there proof that in each case a seat belt would have had a impact in reducing the injury or death? Hard to come to a answer for this.
Problem#6
Current school busses and there seats we not currently designed for belts, so do we just replace every school bus on the road?
You can't just drill holes in the walls and floor of busses and bolt in seat belts, the structure of the bus needs to be designed for it(and they are not)
