After a lot of pressure, the government has moved up the replacement of the DOT-111s, those tanker cars that carry crude oil because it was found that they were not sufficiently impact-resistant. That transportation is for natural resources. For transporting our children, should we not be demanding stronger buses?
We fully understand the compartalization theory in a head-on collision, but the consequences are completely different with a lateral impact. Should we not simply err on the side of caution and require manufacturers to make school buses stronger, given that they are allowed to make those kinds of trips?
