This idea of putting seatbelts on motorcycles & bicycles is plain stupid

[mtnsnake]

and there's no way I'm wearing a seatbelt in my boat next summer either. I don't care what they say, that is just ridiculous.

1. magic bus

I always wondered why we have to wear seat belts in cars but not in a school bus? that seems totally weird.

2. they do have seat belts in school buses in NJ, I believe

by law they have to install them in the new buses, but the old buses can still be used

or at least I think this is so, it's been a while since I've thought about it

5. I took an English class with a bus driver

years and years ago. She said that seat belts on buses actually cause more accidents than they prevent. Her argument made a lot of sense.
