Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

Unlikely. Most state and provincial laws in North America require that seat belts be present if the vehicle was originally equipped (or if the vehicle was made in or after a certain year, usually 1967). I can't think of any that require retrofitment of belts to vehicles not originally so equipped. But anyone who wouldn't retrofit belts in an older vehicle just because the law doesn't require them is a moron who should eject him- or herself from the gene pool as quickly and efficiently as possible.


That is so stupid. It should be a law that you have to retrofit your vehicle with seatbelts.

You've also never experienced pain until you hit your head on the lip of weather-stripping (Right above where the door closes.) on a Volvo 240.

Those cars do not give at..all...
