If there was no seat belt law, do you think that all people would wear it?

this is your problem..... how?

and I wore belt all the time long before there was a seat belt law. why didn't you?

I made a motorcycle-version of Teddy Bear at Build-A-Bear store for my ex and named it Jiro. She still has it.

It is my imagination based on your tough appearance.

Hey, cool.

You have common sense but CP wasn't.

The purpose of the law is to require us to wear a seat belt, otherwise we get ticketed. If there was no law, that means we'd have a choice to wear it or not. In other words, the law helps saving our lives. Same thing with speed law. If there was no speed law, there would be ALOT of accidents. Therefore, that law helps reducing accidents. That's what laws are all about. Don't like it?, move out of this country and stop complaining.

No seat belt?

They will go after you and hand the ticket - $46.

School buses have no seat belts for the kids and there has been a few bad accidents recently . There been debates about this for years but nothing has happen yet.

The school bus is far more stronger and safer than regular sedan.

it doesn't matter if a school bus is as strong as a tank. once a school bus hits something... everything inside will move around like a pinball.

I was involved in school bus accident in 1997 and it went shake like crazy but none of students were hurt.

I used seat belts as soon as cars had them available, and there were absolutely no laws about them. In fact, seat belts used to be a lot more uncomfortable and inconvenient but I used them anyway. Also, I put my daughter in the first carseats that were made for the safe transport of infants and children.

There's always a certain percentage of people who won't wear seat belts whether or not there is a law. They help keep the human race from overpopulating.

I think we have bad food with chemicals that used to control the population.

there's this long stretch of road in semi-rural/suburb West Virginia that has quite an effective population control. the nearest 911 service (police/ambulance/fire) is probably a good 15-25 min away. the speed limit is pretty high for a local road - 55mph and it has a steep bank on both sides with many trees with handful of "Don't Drink and Drive" signs.

Safer? No.

Like Jiro said, you can't defy the laws of relativity....once a bus comes to a sudden halt, everyone inside will keep on movin'....until they hit something that ain't movin'.

Buses are not in the same 'class' of transporation as automobiles.

New buses are coming with seatbelts....at the owner's option.


And....cars have had seatbelts since the late '60's. Most people refused to wear them....they had every excuse in the book. People are stupid in general....all the safety features are available, but they won't use them....because 'bad things only happen to other people, not me' attitudes.

I've met several dumbasses...one guy had a huge scar on his face & head from falling off a motorcycle at speed. I asked him why he didn't wear a helmet....his reason? "Because there ain't no law that says I have to wear one, so why should I?"

Met a woman with scars all over her body. She was a passenger in a car that hit a pole, and she was thrown through the windshield and hit the pole as well. I asked her why she didn't wear her belt...her reason? "Because there was no law at the time that said I have to wear the belt"


If everyone used common sense and used all available safety features, we would have a lot less injuries.....but no, people won't do it.

Oh well...

Back in early 1990's, there were lap seat belt in school bus - limited to front area only.

Even, there were no child restraint too - I started rode in school bus in 1990 to state owned school.

It looks like newer school bus will come with 3 point seat belt.

If seat belt is standard in all school bus so state may make law to mandatory.

I know city buses don't have seat belt too.

laws of motion, not relativity unless we're talking about warp speed

Ok, Spock, I stand corrected.

Einstein's theory of relativity: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Perfect example: Man gets in bed with wife. Man is excited. Man gets erection. Man asks wife for sex. Wife says "No". Man loses erection. Man gets depressed.

WRONG! If school bus flips, what happens to kids inside? Many of them will get hurt, period.

And when school bus crashes, older kids head are bound to hit the bars in front of them and it is going to give kids hell of headaches.

Jiro and green427 got me before you.

When I said "safer" - it doesn't guaranteed to get hurt in accident.

I had been in school bus accident before - not bad as car accident in 2005 that where I got some injuries, even with airbag and seat belt clicked in.

 

[diehardbiker]

Been in accident while riding the classic yellow cab to school. I still remember that day, in 1975. No seat belt, no nothing. I was sitting on bar stool like seat. I watched how driver react, wow! very wussy driver in panic, lost control of steering wheel. She wasn't even holding it, just let it go and ahhhhhhhhhhh. RME
