N2  - In July 1994 it became mandatory for Australian coaches to have three point seat belts in all passenger seats. This was the final part of a safety package that introduced improved rollover strength, improved emergency exits and other occupant protection initiatives. These measures followed two horrendous Australian bus crashes in 1989. In Australia it is now common for groups, such as schools, to insist on coaches with three point seat belts for long trips. The technical, operational and behavioural issues associated with three point seat belts on coaches are reviewed. Estimates of the effectiveness of these features in coach crashes are discussed.<p />
