How do you 'strike a balance' on seat belt laws when the largest of the commercial carriers does not require them?
School buses,Commerical transportation buses,Trains,AND commerical trucking.
You can apply a law haphazardly and expect people to be happy about it.
Personal choice is just that.
My NOT wearing a seatbelt has no direct effect on you wearing yours.

Should have been a question mark at the end of that sentence.
Sorry!

Hmmmm ~ just posted a response to the question, but it keeps getting asked. The reason seatbelts work in cars but not in buses is simply the fact that most of the force of most highway collisions occurs down in the first 3 or 4 feet above the highway. Buses raise their passengers much higher, and they therefore become safer.
There's no advantage to having belts in a bus.
