EXCELLENT idea!!!!
But being the sort who HATES a seatbelt, and who is convinced that he most likely survived two very serious accidents BECAUSE he was NOT wearing a belt, I wonder if we might be exempt from wearing them because this is a "motorcycle"? Or will part of the "autocycle" trade off be mandatory wearing of a "death belt"?
(Sorry, maybe if I were ever in an accident where I thought they had saved my life I might feel more positively toward seatbelts!)
(IMHO the jury is still out on airbags as I've never been in a vehicle when they deployed)
I have (see previous post in another thread). And I swear by them, The doctors that fixed my 5 broken ribs, fractured pelvis and punctured lung said I'd be dead were it not for the side curtain airbag. Also if seatbelts were such a death item then why do professional race car drivers wear them? I will always buckle up in any moving vehicle. However you do make a good point; the motorcycle classification for the Elio should exempt the driver and passenger from wearing a seatbelt. Good luck convincing a cop that you're actually in a motorcycle though.
