      (I know young people will probably refuse to believe "seatbelt resistance" was ever a thing but it was absolutely a thing Seatbelt laws only slowly came in state-by-state during the 1980s and people were fucking PISSED about it)

      It's probably still a thing, right? I wonder what our rates are now.

      It's probably a lot higher after they made car companies put in the alarm that goes off if the weight sensor detects an occupant in a front seat with an unbuckled belt when the engine turns on But that itself was this big controversial regulatory fight

      All the way back in the 70s they talked about having an ignition interlock system so the car straight up won't start if the driver doesn't have their seatbelt fastened But that was decried as tyranny and then Congress actually made ignition interlocks illegal on regular cars

      Yup Back when I was born, "fastening your seatbelt" was something that cool young badass dudes confident in their driving skills would only do if they were about to enter a particularly dangerous situation It's stupid and fucked up

      The ’70s were a an amazingly dangerous time to be a kid. My family had a station wagon, and we were friends with another family that was carless, so the eight of us would go someplace, adults in the seats, us four kids just loose in the back, sliding all over the place.

      People pretend that the reason buses still don't have seatbelts is "It's been scientifically proven you don't really need one if you're in the backseat" and not "They don't want to pay to put them in"

      Ooh, the schoolbus! In elementary school, we’d sit in the back of the bus, and when a bumpy stretch of road was coming, we’d bounce up and down, hoping to sync up with the bumps and get catapulted into the air. It’s a miracle we survived.

      One time in middle school I hit my head on the ceiling of the school bus- The bus driver took a speed bump too fast.

      Lol yeah Otto on The Simpsons was this one long running gag about how the only "safety feature" school buses had back in the day was sternly instructing the driver never to take her above 30
