Wearing seat-belt while driving is one of the most important yet commonly ignored traffic rule in a city like Bhopal.

General Motors introduced a similar feature (Buckle to Drive) in which a car delays shifting into gear if the driver has not fastened the seat belt.

The new 'Buckle to Drive' system lets a car start, but won’t shift into gear for at least 20 seconds, a delay that could encourage more drivers to belt up.

This was a popular feature in cars, but it was discontinued by automotive manufacturers in the 1990s.

Whatever happened to automatic seat belts? 20 years ago it seemed all new cars had then, then they disappeared.
