the statement is misleading ... it was likely across her chest but rather than going past the neck, she slings it under her left arm, but it still goes across her chest ...
from the outside, the shoulder harness might not be visible in this method ... I know a short lady who does this because it rubs against her neck ... I told her I considered it potentially dangerous, but it is still across her chest and would restrain the chest, but the left arm would be lifted during decceleration and impact ...
That is how I always wear my seatbelt. I am very short and, um, anyway, it is very uncomfortable to wear it across my shoulder and downward. I am wearing the stupid thing, that is what the law said, I thought. Hope this woman fghts the ticket and wins. Doubtful, but I can hope.
