Wasn't it 1974 that the ignition systems were required to be connected to
the seat belts so that the car could not be started without the belts
fastened?
It seems my father had that "feature" on his '74 VW Dasher (when was the
last time you saw one of those?).
Of course, like everyone else, it took him about 30 seconds of ownership
to defeat the damned thing. And it took Congress only one year to
recognize their stupidity, which is ten years less than normal ;-)
