Accident School Bus Crash Leaves Two Dead and Dozens Injured
Where did you come up with this one??? In less than a minute I found that in 8 states they are mandatory. And a federal law requires seat belts in smaller buses in all states. Larger buses apparently have been deemed very safe and the expense, too much to require them in a mode of transportation that is deemed very safe. It would take about like 2.5 billion USD to equip the school buses across the country with seat belts. That estimate came from an article in a school bus news-specific site back in 2015, so today it would be a lot more than 2.5 billion. Not sure if that includes ongoing maintenance costs of the belt systems. A California education official site, summarizing the National Highway Traffic Safety Association report, estimated that the costs would be 100 million USD per year. The report cited that school buses remain one of the safest transportation modes, with a fatality rate of 0.2 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled compared to 1.5 for cars. All of this is of course regarding your post about the US. Of course Thai buses are in a different universe in their levels of safety. They are completely different vehicles and they are maintained in COMPLETELY different ways. As for your, "I have no idea of the logic applied", there is MUCH more in the reports about the logic applied on the construction of the buses, the statistics, the costs, the driving of them, the extra safety laws around them, etc.... Do you seriously not know how much research goes into laws regarding this kind of thing? Yes, I know there is a lot of corruption and logic can sometimes be suspended, but if you have no idea about the logic of something, maybe that's because you never spent 5 minutes trying to find out? And if you did, you might find out that you are UTTERLY wrong about it. But you will happily spend 15 seconds writing a post to denigrate a country about something that you have not the slightest clue about. You might want to do a check on your bias and readjust. -

Big C now cheaper than expat shops
Here is how I know what it's like to eat frozen Stilton.... Some years ago, I think I recall reading about Stilton in the diaries....of Polar Explorers.... Even if Amundsen's Stilton crumbled.... Amundsen and his men.... Never did. Real Men love Stilton, no matter what the climate might be. (I think the tent in this great image is almost half-full of Stilton cheese.) These day, of course, so much easier and cheaper to just buy it at Big-C.... Don't forget your digestive biscuits. -
