It's not a question as to whether we wear them or not . The real question is does Elio have to provide them ? The vehicle will already have airbags as standard equipment . Can Elio save a few more bucks omitting belts ?
from earlier comments where some report seat belts are required in their states, I suspect that would make it mandatory .... in addition, I suspect that EM's lawyers wouldn't want any part of a liability claim if they didn't install them
