According to the Center for Disease Control, other government sources and surveys, female high school students are more likely to wear seatbelts than male high school students.


Quote from the CDC:
"Compared with other age groups, teens have the lowest rate of seat belt use. In 2005, 10% of high school students reported they rarely or never wear seat belts when riding with someone else.9 In a national survey of seat belt use among high school students: Male high school students (12.5%) were more likely than female students (7.8%) to rarely or never wear seat belts."

What type of seat belts would be the best for school buses?

Lap & shoulder (3-point) seat belts are best for school buses. They are like the ones that you find on most passenger vehicles. Compartmentalization (high-padded seat backs) is good for those students that aren't belted in, but the addition of lap & shoulder seat belts helps limit excursion and flailing. It also better protects students in side impacts and rollovers.

Do NOT "lubricate" the belts. It is likely that the belt is old and probably 'glazed' - or one of the components is not properly lined up with the belt - or the tensioner pulley is too weak or not adjusted properly.
