Seat Belts on School Buses Being Debated in Louisiana Senate
I ve always wondered why there aren t seat belts on school buses. Well, it seems I m not the only one because a new bill is currently being discussed in the Senate that would require them in Louisiana.
The topic of the effectiveness of seat belts on school busses is a polarizing one, with studies supporting both sides of the argument.
Some studies report that having seat belts on school busses would make them safer for children, and would also help curtail bad behavior on the bus. Other studies insist seat belts would provide no benefits to safety due to the construction of the bus and average speed of travel.
