I think that england already has the mandatory front seat belt rule.

Good luck on the passive restraint systems: the only car that has them
is the Toyota Cressida - VW used to but no longer.  I have them in my
Rabbit Diesel and they are great.  They are always on and they are more
comfortable than regular across the shoulder seat belts.  Too bad that
my diesel is getting so tiresomely noisy in its middle age.

It does seem however in the NY law possibly to be that safety seats
for kids up to ten is a bit much (how do you squeeze them into that
tiny thing?).

Its not the high speed, its the sudden stop - dep
