They do need seatbelts, and they need to recruit more sober drivers..

I remember one bus driver I rode with only had one eye... He never put us in a ditch tho...

Today's brats don't need belts. They need harnesses and muzzles. Belts would be good, but pity the driver trying to get all the kids in them and stay in them!
A neighbor used to drive bus, drunk by morning already.
I rode bus all school years. One drive loaded from back to front. One the bus was constant bedlam. The main driver for a long time put up with nothing. One time he slammed the brakes on to dead stop. He looked back through the mirror. We sat there for the longest time til everyone shut up. He said we would sit there til EVERYONE sat down and SHUT up. We did. He had 8 kids of his own. No kid was going to get the better. He kicked a boy off once near his house. And made him walk home, followed behind slowly til he made it. Now adays, no way drivers can disapline. So bus makers try to make safe seating.

I wonder what happened there, aside from the fact that they weren't strapped in.
Feeling kinda bad for those kids ... that looked painful.

It was a roll over. When the bus rolled, it shot the kids like a catapult to the bottom (side of the bus that is on the ground)Feeling kinda bad for those kids ... that looked painful.

Yikes ... Obviously school buses need seatbelts. Perfect example as to why right there.------ This thread is Archived ------

Back in primary school, I was on the bus heading home, they closed the school early because of a snow storm. We were parked on the side of the road for some reason and next thing we knew, the bus slid down in the ditch and we all went flying. Our parents had to come pick us up.------ This thread is Archived ------

See what I mean. That's just plain dangerous, to say the least. I never rode the bus, I walked to school everyday until I got my license. Walking to school really sucked in winter but such is life.

Bus in country was no fun either. I got picked up about first. Ice cold bus. Sat behind driver so I could be by heater next to him. Always sicky. Found out as adult when working on cars..everyone of those blasted heaters leaked anti-freeze so I was breathing that smell.
Rode around for an hour as picked up all the kids. And some lardo had to eat an apple on the way so that smell added to motion sickness.
Walk down long drive and wait for bus standing in snow. Mom watched from window and after fifteen minutes or half hour would holler come back to house. Get half way and theres the damn bus!
First off in pm at least.
We ended up stuck at a farm on winter. Dumb driver tried to make the side road and hill in the blizzard. School days...

Lol, reminds me when I went from Amsterdam to London with Megabus. I had to be in Amsterdam at 8 am. The bus had stood outside all night long, it was december and the heater wasn't working at all. So a journey of 12 hours became a nightmare. And on the way back to Amsterdam the bus went to Dover from London where it parked. The aircompressor was defect. So a mechanic had to come over from london, and we had to wait for an hour til he arrived. Then after another hour he decided he couldn't fix it and there had to come a new bus from London, so another hour waiting. Then we went for the canaltunnel. Guess what, problems in the tunnel, so we went back to Dover. We started in London at 8 am and finally at 4 pm we were on the boat to Calais. Finally at 1 am I arrived in Amsterdam where I just could catch the last train to my area. But from the station to my home is another 8 km's. No more busses driving and also no taxi's So the last 8 km I had to walk with my suitcase in my hand.Rode around for an hour as picked up all the kids.
