Seat Belt Indicator Light

Yes, put the seat belt on.

Other then that smart ass, i don't tend to wear the seat belt when off-road, locks up too much.

Do you realize just how brain dead stupid you sound there? ;-P It's "The Flat Earth Society" all over again, the same mentality that fought automotive seatbelts tooth and nail when they were introduced in cars in the 1950's.

Seriously, I'll take the slightly uncomfortable annoyance of a seatbelt locking up on me a few times while off-roading over the extreme annoyance of a few months in a hospital, or the real drag of being dead for a few forevers ANY DAMN DAY.

Some smart people go to the extra expense to add a full 5-point racing harness system for when they go off-road, because even the factory belts are not designed to handle the kinds of wild gyrations you can encounter tumbling down a hill - but factory three-point belts are still a hell of a lot better than nothing.

You have to wear seat belts all the time, because by the time you realize you are about to have a collision or roll over it's far too late to try and put the belt back on. And once the festivities have started the inertia reel will lock and not let you pull it out anyway.

And another good reason - "Click It Or Ticket" laws. You have to get used to wearing your seat belts on the street, and taking it off when you hit the dirt is a bad habit to get into.

Aside:

You want real fun? Back in the 80's I had a co-worker with a slightly raised CJ-5, full Smittybilt cage, racing seats, and both

So one morning he decided to wear the 5-points while driving to work. And at 65 MPH the freeway suddenly slammed to a stop - he got it sideways, started rolling at about 45, and witnesses counted at least 8 barrel rolls and a few spins in the air (Looked like a NASCAR wreck) and it all ended with a rather beat-to-shit CJ sitting upside down on top of the concrete K-rail center divider. Bikini top ripped up, corners nicely rounded off, wheels bent...

But my friend? Not. A. Scratch. Popped the belts, got some help out of the inverted car, and he walked away. Helped with the clean-up, and back at work the next day.

Of course, the CHP was thrilled - two other cars with some fairly serious damage, and carpentry tools and several 50-lb cases of loose nails scattered /everywhere/. "Call CALTRANS, and tell them to bring the sweepers and the big magnets."

Give him the Info, its one more out of the Gene pool when he finally realises that he shouldve worn a belt. By then its too late eh.
