Seat belts in public transport
« on: June 26, 2018, 11:09:34 PM »

If you travel by coach are there seat belts provided and do you use them?

After the dreadful accident at Guyhearne [spelling] today  :'( I wonder if any of the passengers in the bus had fixed their belts?

Yes.  I've been on a few coach trips and the drivers have to do a Health & Safety talk before setting off and the wearing of seatbelts is covered.

How about public service vehicles?

There were 2 deaths, 5 head injuries and 7 other types of casualty.

that's probably why there were head injuries last week then  :'(

it's like train companies that allow standing passengers, no other public service is allowed to!
