Things were so different back in the late 50s and the 60s. Sugar was not believed to be addictive or harmful to our health. Even today we continue to consume it but we do know better. Fat was considered the culprit and evidence...

School Buses

Nanette Piotrowski @nanette64 (20363) • Fairfield, Texas 23 Nov 16

Due to the horrific bus accident in Tennessee recently where 5 kids were killed and 12 are still in the hospital, I decided to contact the National Safety Council regarding why seat belts are not mandatory in school buses. I mean...

Big argument in my house yesterday.

bonbon664 @bonbon664 (3466) • Canada 23 Mar 10

My husband was fuming mad when he got home last night. He had gotten a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. Well, I basically laughed, and that started the argument. I think that if it's the law, whether you agree with it or not,...

Do you always wear your seat belt while driving?

sender621 @sender621 (14889) • United States 19 Nov 09

Safety is such a factor in all of our lives. We never know when something we do or don't do will turn the course of our lives. We take so many chances and risks everyday. Do we do enough to take necessary safety precautions?...

Why do we have to wear seat belts, but motocycle helments are optional?

ChaJudLeoBit @ChaJudLeoBit (1656) • United States 30 Apr 09

This makes no sense to me. If we HAVE to wear seat belts, then motorcyclists should also be required to wear helmets. It's more dangerous to crash on a motorcyle, than in a car. Probably less chance to walk away from it without a...

Seat Belts Save Lives. Do You Wear Yours?

sweetbabyjane @sweetbabyjane (1929) • United States 9 Nov 08

If you sometimes drive or ride - (like me) - without wearing your seat belt, think about the following. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in the U.S. for ages 4 through 34. Overall, car crashes are the eighth...

Do you think there should be seatbelts on school buses??

kymommy72 @kymommy72 (588) • United States 25 Sep 08

Lately, I have been hearing about so many school bus accidents in the surrounding areas where I live. So, far, thankfully, no children have been killed, but many have been injured and have to be taken to the hospital. I don't...

Seat Belts - Should Adults be Forced to Wear Them??

showpup @showpup (232) • United States 7 Sep 08

I think most, if not all, of us would agree that children should always be safely strapped in. After all, we are responsible for them. However, what about us adults? Should the law be able to dictate if we should wear seat...

AICIRT81 @AICIRT81 (847) • United States 11 Feb 08

How come all school buses do not have seat belts? I think that they should! It seems like a pretty basic safety feature dont you think? Do school buses in other countries have seat belts for the children?

Why don't buses have seat belts? Should they?

wotfpatty @wotfpatty (2065) • United States 10 Oct 07

I haven't been on a bus in ages but was on one recently for a school field trip (It was a public bus that takes adults to their destination, not a school bus) and I noted there were no seatbelts at all on the bus. Why not? I don't...

Would you buy a car if it didn't have air bags or seatbelts?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 14 Aug 07

It's funny to think that just thirty years ago, hardly anyone wore seat belts. When I was a little kid, I can't remember putting on my seat belt even once. Well, that is until much later into the 1980's after it became law in most...
