Ian Wade My parents both take a risk when they drive their cars, like many drivers my mother and father do not were their seat belts a mistake that cost many drivers their lives. This risk should not be placed with children attending school. School buses should have seat belts because there are many fatalities do to drivers not wearing their seat belts, many students walk around on the bus making a hazard not only to themselves but to many students, and the parents do not feel safe with their children not wearing seat belts. Many accidents can avoid a large percentage of fatalities by drivers wearing their seat belts. Seat belts should not only be placed on school buses, they should be mandatory for students whether attending High school, or Elementary. Although school buses are larger than most cars death can still be avoided with a student wearing their seat belt. On my bus many High school students, including myself, get out of their seat in order to switch seats almost every corner, on the buses dangerous trip. If students had seat belts we would feel obligated to stay in our seats. Without our seat belts no one can say getting up is dangerous because riding in a vehicle without seat belts is just as dangerous. If the concern of the students’ safety does not convince the “Powers that be” than the concern of the students’ parents will. Many parents make an incredibly strict rule for their children to wear a seat belt, even though their own school buses do not even have them, continuing to allow parents to worry, and their children to be at risk.
