Seat belt TRICK

Well maybe not a trick, but here goes.

Some driver has got the seatbelt clip clicked into the holder then wrapped the belt around the back of the seat.This stops the alarm going off and the red light on the dashboard coming on. :open_mouth: :open_mouth: so they can drive without the belt ON. :unamused:

Why would you risk it?
1, You wouldn,t be insured
2, You could get fined
3, If an accident happens (you could be flying without wings!) :open_mouth:

Perhaphs it,s just not COOL… :open_mouth: :unamused:

Wow! I never thought of doing that.

And it nackers up the belt.

Or you could have a belt clip cut out of scrapper motor.

Or you could just wear your belt

Or just go on eBay and buy the seat belt attachment to connect dog harnesses to the seat belt they only cost £1 . Or just turn the alarm sound off

“Rebel without a clue”. :stuck_out_tongue:

Or just take the seat base off, unplug the wire, seat base on.

As for the insurance bit, a tad misleading :wink:

I’ve often got into a wagon and found the belt done up on the passenger seat !!!
WHY ■■?

Guy who drove my CF before I got it did this and completely knackered the belt up, now its constantly getting shut in the door and is rather loose on me, unless I manually wind it in.

Because no one has used the seat since it was last safety checked

I feel unsafe if I don’t have my seatbelt on.

Ditto. I’ve grown up with them and as a result wouldn’t dream of driving any distance or speed without one, it just feels wrong and disconcerting.

some years ago, when I was younger and more innocent, the agency sent me on a job with a very large Wiltshire tipper company. Imagine my surprise, when I climbed into my motor for the night, and when attempting to secure the seat belt, there was already an old plug in it. What is it with tipper drivers, that they seem to have an obsessive neex to break as many rules as they can??

Confession time, i’ve only started using the seat belt in the lorry in the last few years and thats only cos the old bill can make points make prizes for easy nicks like that, and are now doing so, they used to turn a blind eye at one time.

Not cos i’m an arse (i am) but having driven a bloody Volvo FM for ages with its wardrobe door mirrors the bog cleaner brought in from Ikea, and now with an MAN with equally stupid wardrobe doors mirrors, i like everyone else have had enough frights when losing ■■■■■■ vans let along bikes behind those mirrors so leaving the belt off makes it much easier to duck and dive about to see round the ridiculous things.

Some of the PORTLY drivers at my place do this ,they could use an extension on the belt,but that would require a thought process.

Sounded quite a reasonable suggestion to me. :neutral_face:

Maybe the last or regular driver uses the seat belt to keep his cool box, or summat else, in place.

ignorance is never pretty, less so when used with ill founded swagger…

this driver wasn’t wearing one, but if he had he wouldn’t have been able to get out of his cab and confront the other driver as quickly as he did.

who says truckers aren’t tough

when you’ve peekaboo curtains,who needs belts. 1 point for the tangs… :smiley:
