I know of no model designed not to start if the seat belt is not fastened.
They buzz, the blink, they make annoying sounds, but they always start.

What about those cars with automatic seatbelts? You know, the one where you only fasten the lower belt and the other half slides along the side of the roof to where it's supposed to be? I've seen those so I
know they exist! Anyway, they don't start til the the seat belt in the proper position, don't they?

Yes, I did mention that it was possibly an urban legend because I couldn't find it on a google search. However, I still think the idea is interesting. Proposterous lawsuits happen all the time and some of them turn out not to be as bad as one thought. The McDonalds coffee lawsuit actually won 'cause it was valid! The whole SCO case should be thrown out but only time will tell. The coke machine death was thrown out, I believe...
