There's some study out there that says for school buses, having seatbelts aren't any safer. I think it was something about unbuckled belts causing more injuries. Of course these days there are retractable belts, but probably nobody has rethought it or wanted to bother with the expense.sparx wrote:I wonder if the number of injuries/casualties would be even fewer if seatbelts were used, though. I've always considered it somewhat of a "double-standard" that we push wearing seatbelts so strongly seemingly everywhere except when it comes to the impressionable young riding on a school bus. It just never has made much sense to me.

"Student Sees School Bus Driver With Gun
March 9, 2006, 08:29 AM CST
A school bus driver is on leave after a student saw him carrying a gun. It happened in the Lake Travis School District.
District officials got a phone call Tuesday from a parent whose child saw the driver with the gun during his bus route.
School officials say that the driver was dressed in full uniform to leave his bus route to go to his second job as deputy constable.
"The bus driver technically did not break any laws. It was just a matter of a student seeing the gun and being a little confused and concerned and reporting that to his parent as he should have," Melissa Loe with the Lake Travis School District said.
The bus driver is on administrative leave until the district completes its investigation."
