SEAT BELT ON OR OFF WHEN OFF ROADING VOTE NOW !!
carbore:
Definitely ON unless in deep water or in a very narrow section with no risk of bumps.
If you can stay in the seat, your not going fast enough.
On "track day" cars they reckon a set of 4 point harnesses and decent part of driving shoes is worth seconds a lap (and the most recommended mod) as you get better control as you are not chainging body position so can keep contol inputs (hands and feet) consistent. Thats definitley my experiance having done time on track in both 3 point inertia and 4 point harness setups in the same car, same seats.
Old Warthog:
Defininately on. Mate rolled his Triumph Herald in the sixties, before seatbelts were even fitted to most motors. Tumble drier didn't do it justice. My first action after getting out of hospital was to get a set of belts for my Mini (which had the fittings, but not the belts :?)
Mind you, I carry a knife on my keyring, just in case I can't get the belt to release after an incident :lol:
O/T Anyone else remember the wonderful cornering of the Herald above 60, the hop, tramp, teeter, pray. Did they ever cure it? I was always wary about getting in them after my experience above.
