NHTSA Propose Seat Belts on Commercial Buses

All commercial motor coach buses will soon all have seatbelts, if The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposal is passed. Their mandatory seatbelt law proposal was provoked by the great danger of multiple causalities that can result from bus crashes, with the concern of the ejection of passengers from the bus.

The proposed rule would require that all newly manufactured commercials need to have lap-shoulder belts.

In Washington State, it is not a law to wear a seat belt on commercial buses. However, the bus driver must wear one.
