Seat belts were first introduced in the early 20th century, with the earliest designs appearing in the 1900s. However, widespread use and manufacturing of seat belts began in the 1950s, particularly after the introduction of the three-point seat belt by Nils Bohlin in 1959. This design significantly improved passenger safety and became standard in vehicles thereafter.

How old does a vehicle have to be before its required to have seat belts?

In the United States, vehicles manufactured before 1968 are generally not required to have seat belts. The federal mandate for seat belts in passenger vehicles began with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, which required all new cars to include seat belts starting in 1968. Therefore, vehicles from 1967 and earlier do not have to be equipped with seat belts. However, regulations can vary by state, so it's important to check local laws for specific requirements.
