Because the traffic on roads slowly became worse and worse and idiots starting driving faster and faster. They are designed to stop such a big impact in a crash. So all in all they were designed to save lives.

Yes. The only autos not coverd under the seat belt laws are the ones built so long ago that they were not installed at the factory. yes you need seat belts in the jeep however Because of the year of your vehicle you are only required to have what would have normally been installed by the factory in 1973 which would have been the front seat and rear seat single Lap belts.
