Any way to add something that prevents the car from starting if the seat belt isn't buckled? 200 1980

As other respondants have writtten, It was once the law. Congress had good intentions, It was a disaster in the field.

I remember one incident (in the news) where the people in the almost new car were being approaced by someone with the most obvious evil intentions. The car would not start because of the seatbelt interlock, and its occupants were then robbed and victimized since they had not been able to start the engine and drive away. Had the car started, they would have had plenty of time to start the car and drive away.
