Wearing seatbelts on coaches.
I've only recently learned that it is the law (in the UK) that passengers on coaches (fitted with seatbelts) must wear them.
Has anyone heard about any prosecutions?
What responsibility rests with the driver?
(I believe that the driver of a private vehicle can be held responsible if passengers do not wear them.)
Our local bus company uses coaches on stage work. All are fitted with seatbelts. I've never seen any passenger wearing them. There are (small) signs for each seat (but no audible announcement).
So what's the situation?
(I've done some searching and some of my claims might be incorrect.)
