<<Do you think seatbelts in cars are also taking away your rights? They certainly were not mandated in the 1930s.>> Hi Arun, Ah, a fellow history statistics buff. Yes 1930's. The car accident/injury/death statistics in the 1930's were about the same then as they are today in the UK. Only there were far fewer cars on the roads back then. Amongst one thing and another, safety was not as good then as it today. Seatbelts were not mandated, and it was only in the 1930's did they realize it was good to put up speed limits in towns of 30mph. But this is all a digression as you know. Maybe you missed the subelty of the source for the graph I selected in that post.? Let me enlighten anyone who missed it. As a student of History, please note the date and the subject matter of the article. Please go to the BMJ site indicated if you wish to read more. But that is relatively recent. November 2013. So, yes... the 1930's eh? This guy springs to mind. Germany 1933: from democracy to dictatorship \| Anne Frank House But as you can drift off topic so can I. Only my 1933 reference isn't really "off topic" is it?
