Back when SAAB had no problems being "a little different", there was a big red FASTEN SEAT BELTS light in the middle of the dashboard which lit up along with a loud annoying buzzer until both front seat passengers were buckled up. There wasn't a timer to eventually shut it off, and the weight sensor in the passenger seat was surprisingly sensitive- a bag of groceries could set it off.
I would imagine that most people had that feature disabled, but my parents let it continue to function for the life of the car. They were more safety-conscious than most americans- I wasn't allowed to ride in the front seat until I was 9 or 10 years old.
So, yes, I have maintained the seat belt habit ever since...
