I've had my Volvo over a year now and only spotted this today.

Guess what year the seat belt was invented and by which manufacturer?

The latter, obvs. The lap belt must pre-date 1959.

I've got my godfather's Jag SUV at the moment - noticed this on the windscreen earlier on.

Apparently all modern Jeeps have an animal hidden somewhere, usually cast into a bit of plastic trim.

I'm being a smart arse because curiosity lead to the wiki page and as with most subjects it's more interesting than it first seems. For a value of interesting that is, and possibly personality type too.

Lap belts are ok in planes as you're so close to the seat in front you can't accelerate enough to need a shoulder strap. In steerage anyway.

Wrong?

Maybe that's why he's lost.

Don't worry Gremmers, I get your subtle humour.
