Seatbelts are mandatory in The Netherlands for the driver and front passengers.
Children go in the back on a special seat, also wearing seatbelts.

Maximum speed is 100 Km (Metric system, for those who don't know), allthough,
the everage speed is more around 120 on "autowegen" (Get your dictionary out).
This speed is tolerated.

The statistic's show less (letal) accident's after these rules have been
established.
