Letter: It's ludicrous

It’s ludicrous

First let me say I favor seat belt laws.

But it seems ludicrous to require me and my children to wear them in the car but when they get into a school bus it is optional.

That’s right. Even though buses have belts, students are not required to wear them. That to me is ludicrous.

Furthermore, wearing seat belts would solve two problems:

1. It would keep kids in their seats and thereby stop possible incidents where kids gang up on a student in the back of the bus. This may have relieved the problem recently experienced in Naples.

2. It would improve safety.

So what am I am missing? Why aren’t they required to buckle up?
