Seat belts began to be used in cars in the 1950s, with the first production models equipped with them appearing in the 1956 Chrysler Imperial. However, their widespread adoption didn't occur until the 1960s and 1970s, when safety regulations and awareness of car safety increased. By the 1980s, many countries had implemented laws requiring the use of seat belts, significantly improving road safety.
