Vehicle commission * USA - About 70 percent of state's fleet fail initial inspection
About 70 percent of the 23,000 school buses in the state fail their initial inspection. Parents can check school bus safety records online
Gannett,New Jersey,USA -The Daily Record, by LARRY HIGGS --September 14, 2008: -- The good news for parents is: out of that 70 percent, 40 percent of those buses, which flunk for serious safety items, are immediately taken out of service by the state Motor Vehicle Commission, said spokeswoman Cathleen Lewis. Buses are inspected twice a year for 180 items, ranging from brakes to having band-aids in the first aid kit... The remaining 30 percent of buses that fail inspection are rejected for minor items, receive 30-day failure stickers and can be used to transport students at the discretion of the school or bus company. They must be reinspected in that 30-day period... Parents can review bus inspection records for their local school district or bus company on MVC's Web site, she said...
