Consumer Description

40+ YR OLD SEAT BELT STANDARDS - I STRONGLY URGE THE UPDATE OF SEAT BELT STANDARDS TO INCLUDE THE OBESE POPULATION . THIS WAS CONSIDERED IN 2003 BUT NOT ACTED UPON. THE DESIGN CURRENTLY SUPPORTS A MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 215 LBS AND WHILE CONSIDERED A LARGE PERSON IN THE "60S, THE POPULATIONS WEIGHT HAS NOW EXCEEDED THIS "MAXIMUM" WEIGHT BY FAR. THE COST OF REDESIGNING AND INSTALLING BELTS WOULD BE MOOT. A COMFORTABLE BELT WOULD ENCOURAGE ITS USE. TODAYS TECHNOLOGY CAN PROVIDE A SAFE AND COMFORTABLE BELT INEXPENSIVELY. I IMPLORE YOU TO MANDATE A COMFORTABLE AND SAFE SEAT BELT FOR ALL PEOPLE IN ALL CARS,SUVS AND LIGHT TRUCKS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. SINCERELY, VICKY WEBER BY THE WAY, THIS FORM WITH ITS MANDATORY FIELDS WAS DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE FOR THIS TYPE OF COMPLAINT/SUGGESTION. *TR
