The deaths of 10 passengers in a tragic bus crash will not have been in vain if a new culture of wearing seatbelts and accountability for drivers is adopted.

Brett Button was under the influence of an opioid painkiller when he crashed the bus.

"This next part's going to be fun," Button told passengers before accelerating into the roundabout and speeding around the turn before the crash.
