As far as I know I don't need license plate lights. Yes, I remember the Bugatti. It's one case. I would prefer to have seat belts if I thought they would accomplish much. But three-point belts are out of the question, and lap belts are only a slight improvement over nothing. However, I am going to install one in the middle front, so I can put Grace's car seat up there. I drive the Chevy slowly and carefully , and while that doesn't ensure safety, I would guess we're more safe than we might be in a contemporary passenger car, just due to the driving style and the visibility of the car.
