    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the 1974 mandate that cars should be equipped with interlock system and air bags for safety in the U.S. It states that the interlock system would prevent the engine from starting until seat belts are buckled to save injury and accidents. It mentions the volume and vehemence of the U.S. House members' votes to tack onto a Department of Transportation bill an amendment that would prevent the requirement of the interlock system. Moreover, it notes that the amendment would damage the prospects of an effective safety device called air bag. It mentions the significance of air bags in preventing critical impact in any crash and holding the driver and front passengers in their seats during crash.
