Bus driver fell asleep https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjKuRD-F5mc

There are seats along windows as well as the lack of headrests & seatbelts, also very few have restraints for wheelchairs & prams/buggys

Question: is it better to sit on left and get thrown on the floor or on the right opposite direction of the bus to have your neck crushed?

8 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

I'd still say right. If the bus brakes hard you can still fall from your seat, but you won't get whiplash from it. Here the bus just stopped

I don't get it.. everywhere in the world you have to wear seatbelts in a car... in a bus or train? Nope.. nowhere

Buses yeah I'm with you, but your chance of getting into a train accident are insanely smaller

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Even if you're in one, the chances of the people inside the train getting injured are even smaller unless it's against another train.

This is why there are seatbelts on every bus here in sweden.

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

Swede here. Not every bus has them unfortunately.

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Busses built after 2009 (if I remember correct) has belts. There are still a few old busses around without it.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I find it weird that cars must have seatbelts but not busses. Not until now at least. They also do random controls on the busses

Fellow Swede here: to any non-Swedes. Our long(er)-distance buses have seatbelts, intracity buses usually do not.

Same as Finland. But lot of people don't wear them...

Same here in Germany (or Berlin where I live).

Personal vehicles: "everyone everywhere must wear a seatbelt at all times or be fined." School buses: "No child wears a seatbelt ever."

8 years ago | Likes 28 Dislikes 1

School buses also have a lot of mass that means in most collisions they wouldn't be effected as much as say... a small 2 seat coup.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I heard they do that because of seating arrangements and its just too expensive to replace all the buses in the country.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

buses (especially school buses) are designed to be very survivable without seatbelts

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

As someone who was in a school bus accident (not bad, thankfully) as a kid- FUCK that logic. I smashed my face hard.

With an impact like that, I'm surprised she could still move her leg. That was some legit severe spinal compression.

Her leg moved a bit, so at least there's that.

Buses in UK don't have seat belts.. and old people get free passes. Maybe it's to purge old people..

8 years ago | Likes 55 Dislikes 1

The newer buses in my area of the country have had seat belts for many years now.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Well this gif has nothing to do with the UK but you are factually accurate.

Buses in the US don't have seat belts either and some transit companies here give seniors free passes once they turn 65. Our local one does.

Road a bus in NJ once that had seatbelts. It was definitely a newer model. Seats so comfortable, too.

in the USA I have never seen belts on city buses or motorcoach. School buses have them though. At least in my town they did.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Must be a rich town. /s Its uncommon bevause bus manufactirers pretty much dictate what schools have.

We had them on the short bus. We wouldnt use them, except to beat each other with the metal buckle part.

Sweden has belts and it is mandatory to use them. Noone does though.

In busses? :O

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yup. Busses built after 2009 (if I remember correctly) have belts. So if you're in a bus with belts. You must wear them. None does though :P

As a bus driver, this is my biggest nightmare. Also, they removed all of our front, front-facing seats cuz of exactly this.
