Disabling the seatbelt chime - Libby

I'm not sure how many people would react positively to 6 point belt systems. They do hold you securely though..

Did here.

Thanks Ed, Of all things I did not look in the manual. And I am usually one to read through, I have not read that far in mine yet.

Now I feel pretty dumb, not uncommon for a blonde though.

Thank you. Page 47 in the owner's manual. Took 30 seconds.

Ok, now I have the book out again, and a fresh cuppa coffee.....

You can't wear them on the street because you can't do safe shoulder checks with them on.

I make rear seat passengers wear them two - I don't particularly want the back of my skull broken open by a rear seat passenger attempting to travel through it on route out the windscreen... Don't know if you have ever seen a video of it happening, but it is very messy. I'm sure Earle will agree..

Funny you would mention that. I do a seatbelt check when everyone gets in. Those that are used to me just know the look, others have bowed their necks and have had to decide between walking and wearing it.

woops, I said "two" instead of "too". Shocking grammatical lapse. It's now the law here also, although I don't think it's the drivers responsibility if the passengers don't buckle.

I have seen the results. Ouch! We had a hell of a time, figuring out who had been sitting in the back seat, out of three possible candidates. It turns out that the guy who was most messed up, had been in the middle of the back seat. This is theoretically the safest place in a passenger car, but not unless you are buckled in...

On the subject of seat belts, has anyone seen a cigar-shaped object, attached to the side of a seat belt retractor? This contains something very much like a high-powered center-fire rifle cartridge, which forcibly retracts the seat belt in cases of sudden vehicle deceleration. It does it quickly too. I saw a video of one in action, and it is every bit as scary as an air bag or even a collision.

Earle

Yer welcome.

Not nearly as fast as one of these things would. They are one-shot, and contain something very much like a rifle cartridge. Remember the last time you fired a hunting rifle? Picture all of the energy from that cartridge, bullet end too, channeled into tightening your seat belt. If you think that this could be dangerous, it is. One of the reasons they use it, is to pull you away from the expanding air bag, which could smack you pretty hard. But your fire video tops anything that I have seen.

Earle

This is a good design . We have a couple of these in the ambulance, plus spring loaded center punches for windows, and lots of scissors. Some people like knives, but the trouble with a knife, is that you don't have any built-in leverage, like the seat belt tool or scissors. Also, it has a pointy end, that merits some respect.

Earle

OE cut the link. I hate that.

Earle

In California it was for both but if the passenger was an adult the passenger would be ticketed not the driver. I just didn't like the idea that they were unbuckled. Kind of like an open container.
