Why don't UK buses have seat belts?

School buses do.
Most Coaches do.

Because the seats are so close together that if u do fall forward not much damage would be done as you would hit the back of the seat infront.

. . . cos the people who use buses wouldn't know what they were for . . .

it's not law & when they make it law as they will soon, it won't work -can any one imagine the school run.

Impractical and no fun for the driver.

I don't know why they don't have seat belts but I do think they should especially when you see how bad some of the drivers are. I know there are some good drivers, but even one accident is one too many if someone is hurt because there are no seat belts.

the public school system of the UK doesnt have any laws requiring them

Cos it is all part of New McLabours population control masterplan.

thats a very good question I think that they should have seat belts on the buses in the UK.

good question,,..if seatbelts became mandatory, then what would those who stood up use,..maybe a neck noose ?

because it would be too much hassle to unbuckle and so on. Time wastage

Good question. Used a bus couple of weeks ago and the driver obviously had a need for speed problem. Been on smoother rides at Alton Towers! My daughter fell off the seat and hurt her leg. Got abuse from bus driver when complained so have written to bus company to complain instead.

The cost of installation and maintenance would outweigh the benefits to safety in the eyes of bureaucrats and beancounters.
