Do you wear your seatbelt?

The article I posted mentioned seatbelts are not required on (school) buses over 10k (weight).

MORE—

“Most school buses in the United States don't have seat belts or similar restraints to protect children in an accident. Federal law requires them in buses under 10,000 pounds, but that's only a small proportion of the school buses in use — picture those tiny 6- to 12-seater buses you sometimes see, which are usually fully equipped for transporting disabled and other special-needs pupils. They're treated like cars, light trucks and passenger vehicles because of their similar low weight and center of gravity.”

It all boils down to probabilities. You can engage in dangerous behavior for many, many times, but after the 1,000th time, you may not be so lucky. Seatbelts are a backup as someone will eventually mess up on the road, whether it’s you or someone else. Nothing can guarantee 100% certainty, just a higher likelihood. All the safety tips are a reduction as elimination is not possible, but certainly desired.

 

I do always, but I understand why people don't. Seat belts save lives so it makes sense that people don't use them
