Honda Says "No"
to Seat Belts for Larger Passengers
Dear Senator Thurmond:
Current federal regulations only require car manufacturers to make seat belts
that fit people up to 215 lbs, even though there are laws in 49 states that
seat belts must be worn by people of all sizes.
As your constituent, I am requesting that you write the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration on my behalf in support of Elizabeth Fisher's petition
to amend Federal Regulation 49CFR571.209, so that any person who fits in a vehicle
will be able to fasten their seat belt.
The petition is at http://www.ifisher.com/nhtsa/petition.html, and the current
federal regulation is at http://www.ifisher.com/cfr.htm.
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Katherine M. Aaron
