Every day 25 million US children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars: but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large(总体说来), however, the nation’s school children are sent to and from school safety.
Even though the number of school bus accidents is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done- particularly whether seat belts should be compulsory.(强制)
People in favor of seat belts on school buses- many of them parents and medical organizations -argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is that seat belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.
People who object to seat belt installation suggest that children
are already well protected by the school buses that follow the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children won’t wear seat belts anyway, and that may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.
A new Research council report on school bus safety suggest that there are alternate(可替代) safety devices and procedures that may be more effective and less expensive . For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts
在美国,每天有2500万学生乘坐校车.这些校车的安全系数比一般的小车要高得多,尽管如此,每年仍有大约10人因乘坐学校大巴死亡,约40人死于上下车区域.然而总体来说,这个国家的学生乘坐校车还是非常安全的.即使校车发生事故的几率很小,学生在上放学途中的安全仍是公众关注的热点.虽然同是出于对学生安全的考虑,但人们就校车是否应该强制配备安全带的问题发生了分歧.许多家长和医疗组织支持校车配备安全带,他们声称,安全带的配备不仅能保护孩子免受致命伤害,还能培养孩子乘坐任何车辆都系安全带的好习惯.另外还有一个好处,他们指出,系好安全带能让孩子老实地坐在座位上,避免打扰司机开车.持反对意见的民众表示,早在1977年,美国高速公路安全管理局的安全条例中就有保护乘坐校车学生的规定了.他们也怀疑有多少孩子会安分地系好安全带,相反,孩子们可能弄坏安全带或者,更严重的是,他们可能用安全带当作武器伤害其他孩子.最近,一个研究组织发布报告称,在校车安全方面,有比安全带更高效、更低廉的安全装置.例如,该组织建议将座位靠背升高4英寸,将起到和安全带同等的安全效果.
