I’ve read the arguments against seat belts, too, and there are some valid points. But they would be just as valid for a vehicle a parent is driving. For example, when our children were small, I often worried that, if our vehicle slid into water or burst into flames, they would be restrained by the carseats and seatbelts. They’re older now, and I still worry about those things.

There are large families with 8, 10, or 12 children. I don’t think the law gives parents any leeway. That’s why I believe the real reason behind no-seatbelts on schoolbuses is cost. That was the original argument against seatbelts - it would be very costly to fit buses with them.

(For the record, we’d use seatbelts even if the law didn’t require them.)

So far we know that the illegal is using a false name.

That’s not the only thing that’s false though, even the license plates on the van belonged to another vehicle.

And the illegal is saying that the bus hit her, even though the bus was hit in the side and there are witnesses.

To top it off, she refuses to cooperate. She won’t give her real name, except to say that she’s from Mexico.

But she feels terrible about the accident.
