One of the reasons I bought the car I now drive was its excellent seat belts. I like seat belts. I would not drive a car that did not have good seat belts. I do not like the idea of mandatory passive restrain (I have not seen good passive belts). I would have such equipment removed from any car I bought. Of course the use of belts may mean getting caught in a burning car, BUT any one driving a Pinto deserves it. Good frame design, tank design and fire supression should solve this problem. I am for belts, and against air bags (for me). I am for some from of enforced restrain (ie., void insurance, ...).
