Honda Says "No" to Seat Belts for Larger Passengers

Dear Administrator:
I am writing in support of Elizabeth Fisher's petition to amend Federal Regulation
49CFR571.209.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and President Clinton's Buckle
Up America campaign are asking America to buckle up. In order for all Americans
to buckle up, vehicle manufacturers must be required to manufacture seat belt
assemblies that fit all people, not just those who weigh less than 215 lbs.
Vehicles come in all shapes and sizes, just like people, and if a person fits
in a vehicle, they ought to be able to buckle their seat belt;
I am a 60 year old female , 6ft tall and over 215 pounds.Fortunately I fit in
my seat belt, but passengers have had problems with my NEON's car's seat belts.
My recently deseased husband was in a fiberglass upper body cast the last month
of his life and the vehicle we had at that time had extensions added by the
dealership at no cost to us. Every vechicle should have seat belts that fit
anyone who can sit in a seat , driver or passenger. This information was presented
to me by Kari Rogers EMT-B, my Volunteer firefighter daughter.
I wholeheartedly support this effort,
Sincerely,
Judi Exner-Parker
