Around here, State of Washington, it's state law.
I don't have any grandchildren, but my teenage daughter has objected to
driving an old pickup instead of something like that Honda. I need to
show her this thread to help her understand why I want her in that old
pickup...

I did the shoulder belts on mine. It was the law. Actually, the law
was my wife's. If I wanted to take my granddaughter for a ride, I must
have shoulder belts.

The restoration of my '59 is going to take longer now. On Sautrday some
18 year old kid, driving 80 mph+ in a hopped up Honda lost control on
highway 101 and fish tailed into my truck. 2002 Honda Prelude v.s 1959
Chevy Apache... no contest. Although my front fender is totally crushed,
that honda bounced off me like a rubber ball. He was okay, but the CHP
were amazed to see a bent fender on my truck while the Honda was a pile
of twisted wreckage. Driving a classic truck is like driving a Sherman
tank, but I only have lap belts. Had I hit the imbankment I would have
been severly injured (that's if the lab belts actually held me in
place). If I get an insurance claim form this I'm getting Sholder belts
installed.
-Wach out for the kids & their hot rods. (I sound like my father)
