Mr. , Riddell's Bill 'attacks the prob- lem of schoolbus safety from two directions: safer ',Uses, 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. passenger cars are required by law to, have seatbelts and padding to give crash • protection but; by some bizarre reasoning, such safety 'precautions are not re- quired by schoolbuses."

"The requirements that have outlined are not particularly revolutionary," said 1V1r.Riddell. "They are only common sense and they are absolutely essence tial to protect those students who ride in schoolbuses. Every parent in Ontario should be requesting Government legislat- ion for provision for interior occupant protection and uniform Safety practices. Whose res- ponsibility is schoolbus safety?
