In Australia, the law stipulates that if a coach is fitted with seatbelts, whether lap or lap-sash, they must be worn at all times while in the seat with the vehicle in motion. If the police pull the driver over and there are people not wearing their seatbelts, it is a A$200 fine per person - that was back in 2003 and may not be current! Recently went to Sydney on a seatbelt equipped coach - I made sure I had my belt on when the coach was moving!
