I have never heard a model A or T owner ect tell me to look at their snazzy new seatbelts? I have sat in a couple kit cars that dont have them either? I dont mean to push this thread off topic or anything.. but wouldnt that mean that you need an air bag too? if nothing is grandfathered in then id like to see the mint 1932 fords that were crashed to make sure they are safe for our public streets.

seatbelts were only an OPTION from the factory in the 50s..

They were actuall an option up until 1965 when federal law mandated their placement. about %25 of 65 mustangs, and a very small percentage of 66 mustangs were made without them. old guys with Model t's, Of course they never brag about it? Why would they? They don't want to install them. Neither do I. As far as air bags, air bags are not required by law to be on the vehicle when it is on the streets. They are mandated from the factories I believe.

I'm not rereading my old post, but if I said that nothing is ever grandfathered I know that's wrong. I was speaking specifically of seat belts not being grandfathered.

And the being grandfathered in thing? Every vehicle by law is required to have seat belts, there is no grandfathering. I checked into it and ran the risk of getting the tickets. I don't have front seatbelts in my car.(Put them in to go thru a dui checkpoint a few weeks ago, not using them, taking them out again this weekend)

Wrong again Pete!

ND Century Code 39-21-41.1 wrote:
**39-21-41.1. Safety belts.

**1. Every passenger car manufactured or assembled after January 1, 1965, must be

equipped with lapbelt assemblies for use in the driver's and one other front seating

position.

2. All motor vehicles manufactured after January 1, 1968, must be equipped with any

lapbelt or shoulder belt required at the time the vehicle was manufactured by

standards of the United States department of transportation. Nothing in this

subsection affects the requirement in subsection 1 for a lapbelt in the driver's seating

position.

3. The department may except specified types of motor vehicles or seating positions

within any motor vehicle from the requirements imposed by subsections 1 and 2

when compliance would be impractical.

4. No person may install, distribute, have for sale, offer for sale, or sell any belt for use

in motor vehicles unless it meets current minimum standards and specifications of

the United States department of transportation.

5. Every owner shall maintain belts and assemblies required by this section in proper

condition and in a manner that will enable occupants to use them.

Well, I'll be. I was gonna ask you to look it up too. I'd like to thank 3 police officers and a judge for making me look like a complete retard today(most other days it's my own fault).

and what else was I wrong about? I forgot.

Edit:Police Chief Magnus
"The N.D. Century Code requires drivers and front seat passengers of vehicles to wear a "properly adjusted and fastened safety belt."

That is from the 11/9 chat with the chief. How does that affect my arguement? It mandates wearing a seatbelt. To wear a seat belt, the vehicle must be equipped. Therefore all vehicles must be equipped. Help me on this Chuck. Is that accurate?

They are wrong according to the century code

[Guest]

where can you get century code copies online? THis would be nice so I'm not a complete jackass in the future, just mostly a jackass.

So just to clarify it doesn't say anything about "properly adjusted and fastened safety belt"?

Thanks for that post, it is now bookmarked. My jackass day is over. and all you had to mention was the 39-21-41.4 "a driver may not operate on a highway a motor verhicle which was designed to carry fewer than 11 passenger, which was originally manufactured with safety belts unless each occupant is wearing a properly adjusted and fastened safety belt" That woulda answered it better. So again Thank You.
