"All passenger vehicles sold in the U.S. must have shoulder and lap belts in the rear center seat by the 2008 model year under a new federal rule, the Associated Press reported.   Three out of four new passenger cars already have the belts, the story said, but only half of pickups and sport-utility vehicles do.   The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration&amp;#039;s new rule requires 80% of vehicles to have shoulder belts by the 2007 model year and 100% to have them by 2008.   The agency estimates the rule will save up to 23 lives and prevent up to 495 injuries each year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
