Op 1 juni 1975 stelde de Belgische regering het dragen van een veiligheidsgordel vooraan in de auto verplicht. Een veiligheidsmaatregel die het risico op overlijden bij auto-ongevallen aanzienlijk verminderde, maar het publiek moest overtuigd worden. En zelfs vandaag nog is een alarmerend groot aantal verkeersdoden te wijten aan mensen die hun gordel niet dragen.<\/p>

De driepuntsgordel werd in 1959 uitgevonden door de Zweedse ingenieur Nils Bohlin, die voor Volvo werkte. Voor die tijd werden tweepuntsgordels gebruikt die simpelweg de taille van de inzittende omhulden, wat een veel groter risico op letsel met zich meebracht in het geval van een ongeluk.<\/p>
