In Oregon, if the vehicle was not
manufactured with seat belts they are not mandatory. I personally think
those 60s 70s cars that came solely with lap belts are more dangerous than no
belt at all (I've seen plenty of accident reports where I work). Although
of course the shoulder/lap belts put out now are quite safe, even maybe in our
cars, but I think they just don't LOOK right - although I wouldn't care about
looks if it saved my life. Still haven't been able to force myself into
doing it though. . . .

Subject: [FWDLK] seat belt question
I've got a question I don't recall being addressed
recently. What ARE
the state laws on seat belts on older
vehicles? My understanding was,
in Missouri, that there was a clause
exempting pre-1964 vehicles (or
vehicles originally without seatbelts) from
seat belt regulations.
Don't know if this is fact or something I
heard. Would appreciate
feedback from Forwardlookers from different
states.
I think seat belts are a good idea. I have seen a number
of older cars
where they have been installed. Are they (seat belts)
generally looked
upon as a good thing in a restored car, or a detraction
from an
otherwise accurately redone interior?
