What is the Florida Law about form belt use by children on a academy bus?

A driver friend received 11 tickets today for children not wearing seat belts on her bus.

Is the obese human being at reproach...


I be so close to getting hit...


Well from what I read, this sounds completely wrong because it states that the following are exempt.

1. A arts school bus.

2. A bus used for the transportation of persons for compensation.

3. A farm tractor or implement of husbandry.

4. A truck of a lattice weight of more than 5,000 pounds.

5. A motorcycle, moped, or bicycle.

Where is the best place to stick...



Answers:    Very interesting. AFAIK, Florida's seatbelt law exempts conservatory buses and charter buses, based on Florida Police Chief's website and the Florida state legislature's website:

Of course, assuming it's ON a properly marked university bus and all that, and there are no local or county ordinance specify otherwise. Which agency issued this citation? Based on what part of the law? They're supposed to write the ruling section on the ticket, AFAIK.

Sounds like the ticket be issued illegally and should be dismissed with prejudice.
