Around this time, the other manufacturers began to offer seat belts as a standard option for their customers. Finally, by the 1970’s the government started to pay closer attention to the safety advantages of seat belts but any sort of legislation was slow to respond with government regulations. The first country to require the use of a seat belt by law, was Australia. Many additional countries followed their lead and by the late 80’s, it became common practice around the world.
