Default Seat Belt laws per Country

I am tired of searching. just wondered if anyone knows if America is the only Country that requires seat belts in vehicles?
I watch a lot of European shows and no one wears a seat belt, mountains, city, etc. Just wondered.

The speed limit when driving on the beach is 15 mph, yet the seat belt is required!

Just wondering how old those shows may be. I think it’s the law everywhere.

well lots of the shows are in France, Australia, New Zealand and out in the countryside , not necessarily cities. so people relax more? probably. or the people filming don't want to take the few seconds it takes to buckle up.

We lived in Australia, Italy and Hong Kong in the 80's and seat belts were law. As to the shows you are watching, can't help you there.
