DEATH ZONES OR SEAT BELTS--WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT

R Bernard

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

This article calls attention to the disproportionate emphasis on the school bus seat belt safety issue to the neglect of the far more hazardous situation found in the loading and unloading zone. Too many children are being killed by vehicles passing a stopped school bus as well as by the school bus itself. This article calls for a tabling of the seat belt issue until the problem of the death zone of loading and unloading areas is dealt with adequately.
