Is there really a good reason for not having them? I suppose in case of an emergency, the driver would have to help unbuckle many panicking students.

Seeing the report first this a.m., I was wondering if there were any seatbelts on that bus. Ironically, the following news story was the usual warning from the Ala State Patrol which said they would be doing roadchecks this Thanksgiving holiday period, and tickets would be written for people who were not wearing seatbelts at time of stops. This statement was then followed by the number of deaths during the 2005 holiday season, and it was stated how many of those killed were not wearing seatbelts. I have to wonder if even the news team caught the irony of this story following the one of the school bus tragedy.

The government has a policy of providing 2 bus seats for every three school children who require transport. Couple that with the fact that school children's school bags now typically weigh 1.5 stone and it is a wonder the casualty figures weren't higher. No change then.
