We rode without seatbelts in the back of stations wagons. Worse: just ready to fly free in pickup beds. It was almost expected that people would drink and drive.
All that said, you can still eat, drink, and change stations in most places and it is far, far less distracting than phones.
The survivors bias is ridiculous. My wife told me that she didn’t wear a seat belt her whole childhood and she is fine so the backseat doesn’t need to wear one now. Infuriates me to high hell
You’re kidding, right?

And importantly, people died from that shit. Not every time, obviously, so you get morons with survivorship bias lamenting safety laws.
A kid in my neighborhood died from falling out of the bed of a pickup truck. Hit his head and was gone.
