U.S. Government considering requiring seatbelt interlock systems
NHTSA required a seat-belt interlock in 1974 to increase seat-belt usage, before public outcry caused the mandate to be overruled.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a research effort into the efficacy of seat-belt interlock systems that would prevent the car from starting unless the seatbelt was engaged.
