    Yes, grassy knolls are your friend ;-) and the only reason I wear a (slack) belt now is because I got fed up with paying the fines. Belts are only effective if you have a sudden, unexpected, stop. These can be largely, if not completely, avoided by employing defensive driving techniques. Although they were fitted in lorries before I retired, it wasn't the law then to wear one, so I didn't. Aren't they fixed to the seat in trucks which have floating suspended seats?

    Not necessarily. Internationals, in particular, have the seat belt restraint bolted on either side of the seat on the floor of the cab. They use more material to reach over the driver, to reach the other side. The mechanisms have about a 2 foot lead from the floor restraints, or the reel will actually be attached to the floor or the cab side bulkhead.

    So, no not all seatbelts are attached to the seat. :)

    1 left turn, 1 stop sign, 1 right turn, then blindside into the driveway. A whopping 3 blocks. Barely get the trans into the high side and I'm there. And the 1 inch strap on the 2x4 was not my idea...
