The first country to introduce the legislation of compulsory seat belts was Australia in 1970, with many other countries following shortly after. In Canada, seat belts were made compulsory in 1976. In the United States they were made compulsory in 1984.
Sweden was the first country to make seat belts compulsory in 1970. The law required all drivers and passengers to wear seat belts in the front seats of vehicles.
In South Australia, it became compulsory to wear seat belts for front-seat passengers on 1st March 1971. The law was later extended to include rear-seat passengers in 1983. This legislation was part of broader road safety initiatives aimed at reducing injuries and fatalities in vehicle accidents.
