Why aren't school buses required to have seat belts?

Basically, the structural design and 'compartmentalization' of school buses (narrow seat spacing and energy absorbent high back seats) reduces the risk of injury from a crash. School buses must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards more stringent than those of other passenger vehicles. Buses are larger and heavier than most other vehicles: 1) crash forces are distributed throughout the vehicle differently 2) Crash forces experienced by occupants are different Buses are also a lower-risk form of travel and are more conspicuous.

Lastly, buses are inherently and statistically safer than riding in family passenger vehicles. In 2001, passenger cars were involved in 47 percent of all traffic crashes; whereas school buses were involved in only .02 percent of all fatal traffic crashes. Children are injured more OUTSIDE of the bus (getting on and off) than inside the bus.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
