THE REAL PROBLEM
The article urges that before we install seat belts in school buses, we attack the problem outside the bus by the following actions: improve the school bus chassis design to give drivers a better line of vision to the student; provide driver training programs for all school bus drivers; utilize the latest safety devices available to the school bus market; and improve ridership safety curricula and improve ridership safety instruction techniques. It is noted that data show that the real danger lurks outside the bus, and not inside. It is more important to save lives than to prevent injuries and financial resources should be used to accomplish first the former.
