Ye of simple minds, seat belts are not required because the size of the vehicle makes it safer to begin with. Ever bother to consult actual stats? Buses are the safest form of travel, aside from the occasional schizo stabber.
Ye of simple minds? Oh, c'mon now. For the record, I wasn't saying anything about the potential dangers... I just don't personally feel comfortable without a belt, thanks to my mother's over-obsession with them. My sister almost died in a car accident at age 6, due to a stupid woman (camp counselor) who took her somewhere without using seat belts - and sent my sister flying through the windshield, when she lost control & hit a telephone pole. So yeah, that was pretty well ingrained in my head from childhood.

On another note, the title of this thread provides the perfect metaphor for where it's headed.
