Cars - The Swedish Seatbelt Gift To The World Poem by Paul Warren

When you look at the history of seat belts in cars
Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin's idea was not marred
So they gave the three point seatbelt to the world
In the 1950's for car safety the invention was held
Although they could have made a fortune from it
They didn't sell it for other manufacturers to fit

So this gift to the world has saved a million lives
A 1970 law in Victoria, Australia meant others were alive
As a first law for compulsory wearing was enacted
Take a bow to these pioneering Swedes exacted
When you drive a car today you should belt up
And partake of this safety aspect in your driving sup.
