A thirty year old Swedish chart show the deaths virtually unchanged
with the use of seat belts: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/seatBelt.jpg

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.

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.

S

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.
