overly restrictive seatbelt
I recently noticed that wearing my seatbelt could cause more harm to me then when I didn't wear one. I know seat belts are supposed to be 'active' meaning if you jerk forward suddenly, the belt is supposed to restrain you. My belt keeps me back in my seat entirely even when I move up an inch or two SLOWLY. This make it extremely hard to check my blind spot in the mirror in emergency and none emergency applications. Also I noticed the belt keeps me restraint when getting on on/off ramps. To correct this I have to lean back so the belt loosens up and lean forward again so I can check my mirror to merge. Once again these are all SUBTLE movements of my torso, not quick a quick jerking motion.
Can someone shine some light on my issue because as much as I hate to say it, the belt AS OF NOW is doing more harm than good. |
