The journey for seat belt legislation in the United States varied by state, but the first mandatory seat belt law was enacted in New York in 1984. The process typically involved years of advocacy, research on safety benefits, and legislative discussions before states began to adopt similar laws. Over the following decades, many states followed suit, leading to gradual nationwide acceptance of mandatory seat belt use. Overall, the timeline from the initial advocacy to widespread adoption spanned several years and legislative sessions across different states.

A seat belt should be long enough to comfortably and securely fit across the occupant’s lap and shoulder without being too tight or too loose. Typically, a lap belt should lie flat across the upper thighs, while the shoulder belt should rest across the chest and collarbone. For optimal safety, the seat belt should not twist or have any slack. It's essential that the seat belt allows for movement but still keeps the occupant restrained in the event of a crash.
Seat belt was not the result of an accident. It was the idea of a French inventor named Gustave-Désiré Leveau. It was then adopted by car manufacturers, being offered as an option. The seat belt law became a law in Australia in 1970.
