Push for seat belts on school buses

Push for seat belts on school buses :

"Last week 15 intellectually disabled children were hurt when their bus and a semi-trailer collided near Waikerie in the SA Riverland."

When we saw the pictures of threat bus crash on the news last week two things were very clear. Locals had worked in a very compassionate, efficient manner to help the children and to keep them calm. The level of care was exemplary ad a good example for all of us. The second obvious thing was when someone said we go on and on and on about how important seat belt wearing is in cars, but we don't provide them in buses. I know when I go interstate on the new coaches, I have a seat belt to wear. It is sense. Good sense. Yes, it is very costly to put them in on older coaches. But what of the injuries and deaths without them. What holds for cars, holds for buses and coaches, the moreso because they have more and bigger windows. Children should have seat belts on school buses. Even if we have to go into major fund raising...let's do it. They are our future. Let somebody come out with the exact cost of this and let's do it.
