[Spridgets] Safety - Seat Belts and Roll Bar Question

tinydog sent thanks:

Great resource. I printed-out the entire text and I'm going to ask my master to put it in the glove-box of the Midget. (Wait a minute. I don't think we have a glove box in the Midget.)

Anyway, I'm going to have him read the whole thing to me when he gets home. 

You wouldn't have any organic treats you could email me, woodja?

BTW, At the end of your emails you include: "The Red Thing". Does that refer to your car?

Hello Tinydog,

     The reason I read the statutes is because I had a disagreement
     with a State Patrol Officer. He said any car made for or after
     the 1964 model year was required to have seat belts installed. I
     was under the impression that NO ONE could make safety equipment
     be retrofitted, and I KNEW that there was no FEDERAL LAW in place
     in 1964.Since mine is a '66 it is more than a moot point IF I were
      to be pulled over.

      Here is a link to the FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
      Standards) which shows, amoung other things the implementation
      dates.
