Story Behind the Invention
Inventor Joseph Westphal of Lutz, FL has created a seat belt interlock system that prevents the transmission on motor vehicles from engaging until all occupants and the driver have fastened their seat belts.
Due to state laws or educational awareness programs, most people automatically buckle-up upon entering a motor vehicle. However, there are still many who do not wear a seat belt. Some people forget, or the chime warning is easy to ignore, or they just dont find it comfortable. All of these reasons allow people to break the law and cause insurance rates to be higher for all of us. Regardless of the reason, choosing not to wear a seat belt is a potentially fatal decision. Inventor Westphal has created a means by which seat belt use can be strictly enforced.
This clever new invention encourages seat belt use. It is ideal for families with kids. The system reduces injuries and saves lives. It is for new vehicles or its a great aftermarket item for existing vehicles. It makes driving and insurance rates cheaper for all. The use of the Seat Belt Shifter Lock System ensures that all vehicle occupants are protected by seat belts in a manner which is quick, easy, and effective.
