Here in the United States, it was 1967, in part due to the exposure of
car safety issues and political pressure organized by Ralph Nader.

I assume from your address that "Here" is Canada for you, I believe
that requiring seat belts in vehicles were part of the the 1971 Motor
Vehicle Safety Act there, but I'm not sure.

I think some developing nations might not bother requiring them.  I
hope the car manufacturers don't make special models for those
countries where seat belts are an "option".
