Why not? I've been on one may times. Although technically it wasn't a bus, it was a motor coach.

No, it is fine with existing school buses. The frames are made of cast aluminum and are nearly indestructible unless struck by a freight train broadside or going head on into an abutment.
I've seen the wreckage from 60mph head on crashes between a vehicle like a Ford Explorer and a Bluebird bus, and there wasn't a scratch on the bus, it barely moved, all the children were safe, and all the occupants in the Explorer were DOA.

Seems to me that more fatal accidents occur on 2-lane roads, 4-lane roads or intersections (due to head-on collisions and the like) than on interstates.
I just think that buses should always have the right of way (regardless of whether they are stopping or not) and should have to follow a speed limit of 55 mph (as trucks do in Ohio) on the interstates.

After watching Dirty Harry I am strongly opposed to such danger rides.
My girl thinks I'm nuts. Does anyone remember black and white school buses in the 1970s? Maybe it was just an NYC thing.

Would you allow your kids on the hot rod schoolbus that does wheelies?

What do you think of buses with seatbelts? What do you think of buses without them?

Why are school bus drivers so reckless? They seem to think they're only responsible for the kids and they completely ignore

You're reading Safety Question: should school buses, with children on board, not be allowed to travel on the interstate system?
