[net.followup] why seat belts?

an@hou2h.UUCP (01/28/84)

Say, how did this brouhaha about tailgatingfastdrivingseatbelts-
seatbeltlawshelmetlaws, not to mention scraping hash off the 
pavement, got started anyway? Any instant net historian
care to put things in perspective?

First I remember reading about some out of the blue tip from
a certain Safe_Driver about how to deal with tailgaters, then
the go_fast_bad_dudes come out of the woodwork, then some Mr Nice
Guy start calling fellow netters "egg-sucking fools", and next
thing I know the august Mr Horton had to come on to admonish
everybody to move their lively discussion to net.auto.

Au "Canada have a seat belt law don't they?" Nguyen
