5 point harness = no seat belt ticket?

You have or consider having a 5-point in that sound barrier breaking coupe of yours?

H/c/I to mid 7s plus some giggle juice I figure I should. I'll be running high 6s on spray. I hope atleast.

I have been out of the shop for a few years but when I was an inspector we would require the stock seatbelt to be present for an inspection. If a harness isn't DOT approved it isn't a seatbelt. What you chose to use when driving was up to you. I thought a harness was kind of a whip when driving my TA daily.

Most 5 point harnesses arent DOT approved, hence illegal.

I have them in my cj-7...stock ones missing when I got it and the 5 point was cheaper. I don't really care for them on highway bc lack of movement, it's kinda a bitch to reach the stereo button, but never a problem with cops.
Never really gave them a thought about dot legal or not.

Also you don't have to inspect for a speedometer. The cop was talking out his ass.

Bullshit. The cop can do anything he wants on the side of the road. At that point, you're fucked. And now you need an inspection sticker... and you'll have a court date for the ticket... and probably have to pay the fine anyway since the judicial system is in collusion.

They've got a sweet little system for screwing you over.

FTP much?? Show me in the inspection manual where it talks about the speedometer. It's not there I looked before I made the post. Just because he does something wrong doesn't mean he's NOT talking out his ass. It just means he's a dumbass and is in the wrong.

Just because a cop is wrong, doesn't mean he can't fuck you over.

5 point harness is not original saftey equipment, and illegal on the street.

Then he can pop you for no inspection sticker which is another ticket

Only if you drive off.

Road racing they do pretty good,

I tell people this all the time

i was pulled over in my nova for not having them on, when i was wearing a white button up shirt. The officer thought i was wearing suspenders........nope it was a 5 point harness. the car didnt come factory with seatbelts, in 62 they were an option, so just to be able to run it down the track i put them in.

[Sleeper]

Last time I looked only one company made a dot 5 point harness.

You can keep a factory belt with a cage for daily use. I did.
