as a "daily driver", here in SC, having something like 63-65K miles thus far, i decided about 6 months after getting my SPF, that i owned it to myself to put on all five points each and every time i got in my car. For awhile, i only put the laps on, but i kept looking at that incompressible steering wheel hub, and practiced throwing my forearm across it, so i could try to protect my face and teeth in an accident.

But realized i was being foolish, and upon the suggestion of Randy R, another SPF driver, i made a commitment to ALWAYS put in all on, Y over the shoulder, lap, and the submarine crotch strap. Then snug it all down correctly, making the necessary adjustments

I have worn out 3 seat belt systems, they get fuzzy eventually.

I am very very careful out in my car, but i see so many accidents occur, that i felt i owed it myself and my family to do what i could to protect myself as much as possible in my car.

Besides, i flip on the Accusump, and while it is pre-lubing my motor, it gives me time to get ready to drive.

I always wear all of it, and if i have a passenger, they wear all five points, too. My rule.

shoulder belts tucked behind the seat don't do much to save my face should that happen.
