don't know if it's been posted before and don't care to check. but what do you guys and gals think?!?!?! the seat belts in our cars are anoying as all hell!!!!! just go back from a little drive and man i was so uncomfortable. what do you guys think. i used to not wear it but was in a bad accident last year and was thrown from the car. not i wear it even if i'm just going to the mail boxes (and no i don't drive down a little drive way to get to my mail box.... haha that won't be pretty lame) i live in an apartment haha. anyhow i also wear it cuz the seat belt light in the dash sucks. just my thoughts now how bout yours?

Options...
1. Get seatbelt pads
2. Get new belts
3. Get 4 Point harnesses
4. Shut up, drive and deal with it.
Quite honestly, I don't even feel it, so I don't know what the problem is.

Rep Power: 424 If it is locking, its a problem. Take it in. It shouldn't lock into place like that. I think it only locks if you move forward very quickly.

Rep Power: 415 ive only done as much as back out of my driveway without my seatbelt on... I guess its just how I was raised... I feel much more awkward in a car without the seatbelt on than any discomfort which could be generated from the use of the seatbelt.
the belts in the civic tend to lock too much but i've had worse seatbelts so I don't notice [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 see mine lock any time i slow down. and haha when i accelerate quickly. should i take that in then i figured it does it with all our cars cuz i mean my mom has a 2001 civic too and hers does it to. could it be that i have a DX or shouldn't it matter. i'm bout ready to take the money i have now saving for the HKS turbo sheit and buy some tenzo's or sparco seats and do the 4 point deal.

Rep Power: 318 when I first bought my car, my only complaint was that I had to reach back too far to grab the seatbelts. my previous car had automatic seat belts (yes it did get annoying sometimes..) so I guess I just wasn't used to reaching for it. after a month I got used to it and now I have no complaints 
..about the seatbelt anyway..
