Kyle Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I've heard of US buses having a devices installed which keeps them under a certain speed limit.

Try getting as many as 80 kids to stay buckled up. Link to comment
Kyle Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 If you're driving the bus, I'm certain each child will want two belts instead of one. Link to comment
