CARology is DRIVEN’s series about everyday aspects of motoring that you’ve probably never thought of, and where they came from.
Things we take for granted every time we go for a drive. This fun, short series looks at the origins of simple things, like air-conditioning and power windows, to way back to the birth of the car itself (in Part 1).
This time around, we look at the humble seat belt and how it changed – and saved – thousands of lives. Even how it was mocked and ridiculed by rival brands for its introduction and suggestion that thse cars were so unsafe.
So enjoy a few mins looking back at the humble seat belt, and don’t forget check out Part 1, the World’s First Car.
