Why don't school buses have seat belts?

Question:
I think buses should have the type of seatbelt that rollercoasters have. Overhead padded bars with a safety switch that would disable the bus if they weren't connected, and also would automatically disengage after an accident.

Answers:

Lefthand driving. Why do we and why do they?

Because the NTSB has decided that it's not worth the additional cost that would be borne by taxpayers to buy the buses with additional equipment. Also, that would necessitate making buses with actual seats because most seats can't fit 3 across, as they claim--so the buses would have to be wider to actually fit 3 people. Finally, imagine the lawsuit the first time someone is strangled with one when the bus driver can't see.

What should I do if a neighbor hit my car and I don't have proof?

School busses havent been regulated by the state yet to have seat belts just like the cars 60 years ago dident have seat belts.And air bags were optional in the 1980s due to the fact they are dangerus and hurt and kill young children...The main reason why the school busses dont have seat belts because the cars of today are made like paper and if one would hit a bus the driver would be hurt and and one on board the bus would say what was that .........................
