I know school buses are statistically safer than cars. Any size bus?
I'm just trying to educate myself so I know exactly what that means.
So, for my 5-year-old...is he safer taking the bus to school or having me drive him in his FF Radian in our 2011 Odyssey? (There is no bus available this year as it's school of choice, so the question is theoretical). There was a local driver who drove drunk last year. And in high school one stopped on the tracks killing 7 kids around here.
And, as I've mentioned before, my 3-year-old will take a bus (the mini-kind) with a harness. (If I drove she'd be RF but it makes practical sense to take the free door to door bus).
The 5-year-old takes a mini-bus with seatbelts to his afterschool program. Am I to assume lap belts? And if it's lap belts, is that OK?
Just trying to get educated about buses...
Given I have no idea who these drivers are, just makes me wonder...
