Some pundits have tried to say that it will give rise to profiling. Sounds like those of us who drive these oldies will have to be sure we have on a lap belt, cause you know we're gonna be targeted by the officers who aren't old enough to know that shoulder belts are a relatively new safety item in the automotive field.

Seat belts were required until 1971. So 67 68 70 take your belts out of the truck and you dont have to wear them. If I didnt have kids I wouldnt spend 180 dollars on seat belts I promise you.
