Do I have to wear a belt on a bus?


Do I have to wear a belt on a bus? NHTSA requires three-point seat belts on school buses weighing less than 10,000 pounds, but allows individual states or local jurisdictions to decide whether to require seat belts on larger school buses (49 C. F. R. § 571.222).


What age group wears seatbelts the least?

Young adults (age 18-24) are less likely to wear seat belts than those in older age groups.


Which seat is safer in a bus?

To find the safest seat on a bus, head for the middle. Choose a row as centrally located as possible and sit on the aisle, choosing the side of the bus farthest from opposing traffic. In America, this means sitting on an aisle seat on the right-hand side of the bus.
