“On New Buses, It Will Be ‘Buckle Up”

I am very happy to read this new regulation. Eventhough most of us do not like to use seat belts, it is extremely important to ensure everyone’s safety. I’ve personally experienced two deaths in my family because my uncle and cousin were not using the seat belts. This could’ve saved their lives during this terrible accident. A lot of people think that seat belts are supposed to be used on planes only, but there are more terrestrial accidents than aerial. I still do not understand why so many of us are reluctant to use a device that is only going to ensure we are protected. These rules and regulations should be implemented also on existing buses and no only on the new ones.
