Just Wondering, And If Anybody Uses One How Do You Like It?

Anything that wraps around your body and is legal for your car is a legal seatbelt. You must be talking about the 4 or 5 point harness for your seatbelt usage. Yes they are legal. IF YOU BELT IS ATTACHED TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN YOUR SEAT ITSELF... Not shouting just making it clear.

no they are not legal. I know this for a fact. Keep your original belts in too, when you install harnesses.

If he has a harness hookup for it it should right JBIG? At least they dummies here never get pulled over with there neon red and purple harnesses. Sorry duckfart I was wrong maybe. And why in the hell is youre name "duckfart" LOL just curious

They are not DOT approved, it says so right on the harnesses. You'll get a ticket if you get pulled over and if the stock belts are removed you can get a pretty big fine.

depends on the state, i removed my stock belts and installed dual 5 point harnesses, i had to take my car thru inspection and no one said anything about them

Its a crash test issue, not a state to state issue. you got lucky. Being illeagle does not mean that your gonna get busted every time, or even at all.

Ahh yeah he's right about the DOT approved though I forgot about that. Now the question is, does your inspection place really care about "inspectiong" your car? or do you go there and they look at your car, honk the horn and smack a fresh sticker on LOL

ryans88gt · February 17th, 2008, 01:10 AM

That doesn't mean anything, they are not DOT approved. I have two cars with 500 parts combined that are not street legal, but I still have them registered.

If you get pulled over by someone with a stick her ass, you'll be walking home, or worse.

do you mean your cars are not street legal?im kinda confused here!

ryans88gt · February 17th, 2008, 01:22 AM

Ummm....no comment...according to my registration everything is in good shape.

Rustbelt · February 17th, 2008, 04:43 AM

they need to be DOT approved.

stangfreak · February 17th, 2008, 10:01 AM

i was arrested a few years back for streetracing in my caged Capri with 5 point harnesses and a seatbelt ticked was about the ticket i didn't recieve. they aren't DOT but i'd say wether or not you get ticketed depends on where you live and how big of d!cks the cops are there. i will add i live in Kansas and we have no vehicle inspections.

Inspection guy pops the hood..."Hey theres four more cylinders here

"

Anyways, keeping the original seatbelts and the harness isn't a bad idea.

Just a little extra weight.

No they are not legal. They are not DOT approved and can not be used outside of a race track. That is a fact not an opinion. I've fought this battle with the state patrol.
