Oklahoma did just the opposite: now they can stop and ticket you for a
seatbelt infraction. The Feds are pushing this policy. It's easy for the
police to see if you have your belt done up in the newer cars with
across-the-chest-plus-lap setups. The Victor TF has only a lap belt, so
there's no way they can tell.
