I wore them up until the time I developed a neurological issue that makes anything near my neck like it's choking me. I'M 5'8" & used to be 5'10". I just went out to my pick up and tried the belt. Yeap darn shoulder harness rested right on my collar on the bone at my neck. Any slumping puts it on my neck. Worse than that my wife was 4'10". Usually she rode in the full size van in her wheelchair and it had a chest belt built into the chair which BTW was far more effective. But on rare occasions such as icy weather and needing 4wd trying to get a vehicle seat belt to effectively work for her in the shoulder strap part was almost futile.

You're used to wearing the thing. Now that I've brought it to you attention you're likely gonna start noticing just how many times you have to reach up and pull the shoulder belt off your neck unless you're about 6"4" LOL.

BTW I used to wear them long before it was law.

I am sorry your seat belts are so uncomfortable for you. I hope you will eventually be able to find some type of work-around to make them more comfortable. My wife has long hair and sometimes has difficulty with other people’s belts catching it. I have been in some people’s vehicles where they were uncomfortable for me and we used to have a car where the shoulder harness would keep you from leaning forward to do such things as reaching for change when you are trying to pay at a drive through... generally at the most inopportune times.

My wife bought some sleeves that go around the belt from Autozone or Oreilly’s Auto parts. It takes the sharp edge away and distributes the load over a larger area. Might be worth a try.

I have run enough calls where someone was ejected and ended up under a tire or under the vehicle to make me a believer that my odds are better inside.

I have also seen a “large” woman with a large ring of keys buried inside the adipose tissue of her leg after she rattled around inside of what would otherwise have been a fairly minor wreck.
