| Seatbelt Law
Just like Ford would happily build exploding Pintos & Explorers that will rollover, I think they would happily build cars with no airbags, seatbelts, etc.. if no one was forcing them too.
The reason I think helmets are different is if helmets are not required there are enough of us that will buy them that they would still be developed.
An aftermarket seatbelt solution would never be as good as an integrated safety system in a car IMO.
The law doesn't bother me. Most states (edit) have it. Only way it would bother me is if they busted me in my driveway or something, or no leniency if they nailed you 10 ft out of the garage. |
