4 point harness and the law

harnesses offer more safety over normal seat belts.... its the secure fitting of them into the car which must be legal.

 

Not if they aren't done up tightly and installed correctly with the correct angle on the shoulder straps etc, which most aren't. But to be road legal they just need approval. The ones with aircraft style quick release buckles are not approved, the plastic ones with a push release like a normal belt are.

 

In any case, you want to leave your normal belts in for road driving - harnesses are a nightmare on the road.

The main problem is when you come to a junction - you can't move forward to see if anything is coming. Plus it's very hard to turn your head to look behind you, especially if you have race seats (and you shouldn't have harnesses otherwise). It's even a struggle to reach the stereo controls!

Where does your harness mount to ?

 

rear seat belt points

Not if you have long lanky arms like me :D
