I was pointing out that the Federal mandate to do crash testing without a seat belt makes US cars less safe for the vast majority of people that wear a seat belt.

This sounds quite stupid to be honest. No wonder automakers had to resort to those automatic seat belts in the '90s, too bad they were only fitted to the front seats even on 4-door cars which could also have them on the rear seat.

The designs required to restrain unbelted drivers cause injuries to belted drivers.

How effective these designs are in preventing the same injuries to unbelted drivers? Or is it only effective to prevent worse (and maybe life-threatening) injuries to unbelted drivers?
