seat belt law

     

Seat belt legislation is a law or laws put in place to enforce or require, the fitting of seat belts to motor vehicles, or the wearing of seat belts by motor vehicle occupants. Most western countries have some seat belt legislation.[citation neeed]. The legal requirement to fit seat belts began in Victoria and South Australia in 1964, with the compulsory fitting of seat belt anchorages at front outboard positions in new cars. In 1965 cars built in Europe were required to be fitted with front seat belts. This was followed in 1967, by the requirement in the UK to fit 3-point belts in the front outboard positions, and by the requirement in South Australia to fit belts (2 or 3-point) to the front outboard positions, in all new passenger cars sold.
