[Spridgets] Seat belts

[David Ramsey]

Now there is something for Frank, how about a tee shirt with a stripe.
Depending on which side of the car your sitting on you could just reverse
it. Nevada tried to pass that law this year but it failed, however the cops
can always make up a reason to pull you over anyway. My 61 Bug-I has never
had seat belts.

Coupla points.....

Crash, literature indicates that in fact, the 1961 Sprite is/was the 
first car to have the soon to be NY State mandated (effective 1962) 
seatbelt anchorages.

Second, here in Westconsin, and I suspect elsewhere, we are enacting 
legislation enabling the confabulatory to be able to pull you over 
strictly for lack of seatbelt. Up until now, they would be able to 
ticket you for no belt if they had otherwise reason to stop you. Now, 
thanks to federal "mandates" tied to highway funding, they can stop 
you for not having a belt. So, I guess we all need to show a shoulder 
belt. I really don't want a shoulder belt, though I religiously wear 
a lap belt in my Mini. And, I REALLY don't want to discuss the 
originality issue at bar time.....

I think I'll be installing a fictitious shoulder belt.
