SER1 80 seatbelts : was SER1 80 vs 86 truck cab

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/11/19]

Hey Tom,

SWMBO also had the same issue with my 80".  Not only did she demand seat 
belts, she has been insisting that I wear them as well.  Trying to explain to 
her that I WANT to be thrown clear in the event of a rollover have fallen on 
deaf ears.....  "Feels" safe is about as far as it goes with lap belts in an 
80".  

Who knows... next she'll want me to wear ear protection all the time cause of 
the lovely rumble created by the resonance under the hard top.... :)

Martin

I guess i'll fit lap belts so it "feels" safe and keep the 
peace. Trounle is that once belts are installed You HAVE to 
wear them to avoid costly tickets, points and subsequent 
insurance hikes In canada You only need belts if the were 
factory fitted, so it is perfectly legal to drive the 80" 
without them. My argument: tractors , schoolbuses and such 
don't have belts and "You don't wear full body armour while 
riding on horseback" did not have the desired effect. Dohh
