Ah you are right, I apologize you were talking about someone else.

Nearly every "Church van" style shuttle ride I've had has either the Check Engine or Tire Pressure light illuminated.
You're right, I don't say anything, but maybe I should. I'd sure hate to blow a tire doing 80 down a Texas tollway while strapped to a wobbly bench with no headrest.

what really surprises me is how few pilots wear seatbelts. They think because they are in a van they are automatically safe in a car accident?

let me tell you I have worked as an paramedic in a previous life and, if your van flips or rolls, you are going to be ejected. Doesn’t matter what you are riding in.

When you get thrown from the van and go flying through the window even going 40mph—Your going to look really gnarly at your funeral.

Ya I put my seat bealt on every time and get strange looks haha. I’m like bro I’m not trying to have my head popped like a watermelon. When I was at my regional we had a few van crashes. Some of the drivers got their license from a Cracker Jack box.

Safety report pls. The drivers need to be spoken to for speeding by us on the spot, and spirit needs to know of transportation equipment in unsafe condition as well as the speeding in a safety report. We have an accident and spirit will say well we didn’t know there were issues because no one said anything

You're totally right. I may just start doing that now.
And as for seatbelts, I always wear mine, but I agree, few others do. I'm always amazed.
