i remember when they made seat belts mandatory,there were models of mahindra jeeps and trax 4x4s which came *without* doors, but they had seat-belts in these things which were basically fixed black canvas straps (not the tensile intertia-reel variety which is safe)...these are the types which choke people and still come on some of the lower end four wheelers....
and if i recall, turn signal indicators were made mandatory only in 1995...! (which is why hand signals are so popular....and we still find 'no hand signals' printed as a warning behind some cars....)
