In the very late 70s, his Transportation Secretary, Brock Adams, ordered that ..."Seat Belts" be required in cars.
.Now, they had been an "extra" but requiring them, made it mandatory.
Other safety devices were required later, but the "Seat Belts" went in on schedule.
NOW FRONT AND BACK SECTIONS OF THE CARS HAVE SEAT BELTS...PROOF YOU ASk?
AUTO DEATHS ON HIGHWAYS....LOOK AT THE POST... AT THIS LINK:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year
LOOK AT THE YEAR 1979 AT THE POST ABOVE.
aFTER THAT YEAR, DEATHS GRADUALLY WENT DOWN. AFTER 88 THE DEATHS WENT DOWN A GREAT DEAL EVEN THOUGH
THE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES WENT WAY UP.
WHY? SAFETY DEVICES ON ALL CARS. NOW ALL CARS HAVE SEAT BELTS, SHOLDER HARNNESS, AND OTHER SAFETY DEVICES.
(LIKE BLIND SPOT MIRRORS AND NOISE ACTIVATIONS IF SOMEONE IS COMING FROM THE REAR. (AND MORE)
THE REDUCTION IN DEATHS DUE TO SAFETY DEVICES ON ALL CARS. i RECALL A TIME WHEN YOU HAD A CHOICE ABOUT
BUCKELING UP WITH A SEAT BELT, OR HARNESS.
NOW, EVERYONE DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY, & WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO DO IT "AUTOMATICALLY"................
THAT IS WHY DEATHS HAVE GONE WAY DOWN AT THE LINK ABOVE, WHILE THE UNITED STATES POPULATION HAS
INCREASED MORE THAN 50 PERCENT SINCE 1979..JUST HIT THE ABOVE LINK AND LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, PLEASE..
