Huron MPP fights
for bus safety
Jack Riddell, Liberal MPP
for Huron riding, has introduced
a Private Member's Bill into the
Provincial Legislature which
would ensure safer schoolbuses
for Ontario's students. Mr.
Riddell's Bill attacks the probl-
em of schoolbus safety from two
directions; safer buses, and
safer schoolbus drivers.
"Let's consider the facts, "
Mr. Riddell said. "In a school -
bus there are no seatbelts and
there are no padded armrests;
passengers must often stand
while the bus is in motion; and,
most lethal of all, a steel bar
runs across the top of each seat -
back at just the right height to
mutilate the face and teeth of
a child thrown forward by a
sudden stop or collision. Passen-
ger cars are required by law to
have seatbelts and padding to
give crash protection but, by
some bizarre reasoning, such
safety precautions are not req-
uired by schoolbuses."
Mr. Riddell's Bill would call
for the Government to set stand-
ards for schoolbus construction.
He suggests that all schoolbuses
in Ontario should meet CSA
Standard JD250 and also that
automobile dash -type padding
should surround the passenger
seating area to provide crash
protection. Mr, Riddell further
calls for more stringent and
more frequent mechanical fit-
ness inspections with supplement'
ary random surprise spotchecks
by Department of Transport in-
specters.
Mr. Riddell's 13111 also calls
for higher standards for Ontario
schoolbus drivers. The Depart-
ment of Transportation is called
on to investigate the police and

driving records of an applicant
for a schoolbus driver's licence,
before granting such a licence.
Schoolbus drivers would also be
required to take regular defen-
sive driving courses, emergency
first-aid training and a course
in practical, basic child psych-
ology so that the driver can
effectively administer discipl-
ine and maintain order in his
vehicle.
