The first thing Lukas noticed when he made himself comfortable in the seat was the absence of a seatbelt.
He glanced quickly around the car. There was nothing across the chest, and nothing at the hip.
Back on earth, getting into a car without a seatbelt felt wrong on instinct, with years of habit making the absence feel like a missing step.
But thinking about it for a second, it made sense here.
The weakest people licensed to drive these vehicles were Adepts. Even at the bottom of that ranking, an Adept had reflexes and physical capability far beyond any ordinary person.
The reaction time alone would be enough to handle most situations before they became dangerous.
And if a crash did happen somehow, an Adept had more than enough ability to walk away from it without needing a strip of fabric to hold them in place.
A seatbelt might even slow them down when it mattered most, keeping them locked to a seat when every instinct told them to move.
