Seat belt light

I’ve never had them check anything like that, they usually just wanna check your low air warning, flashers, lights, high beams, brake lights, signals, etc. Never had anyone go that in-depth to check a seat belt light

 

Just went through part 393 and there is no mention of needing a seat belt warning light.

There is reference to 49 CFR §571.209 and 571.210 and I went there also. Still didn't see anything about a warning light required.

Might want to peruse them yourself and I just skimmed over.

 

I’d just be curious if it would affect your airbag... like a passenger airbag in my personal vehicle doesn’t work if the seatbelt isn’t latched..

 

Tell them to pound sand.

 

Omg, a level one?

Really you don't know the new regs for level one and seat belt lights?

So they will check to see if the bulbs are working and have you demonstrate the proper use of seat belts for pregnant women.

If you don't pass, they write you up and take your fuel card points away. But if you can't demonstrate the lights, then they will put you out of service and force you to call road service, not the smart one but the guy who can't figure out why the torx screws won't come out with a philips screw driver, so he drills them out with his 5/16ths drill bit to see if your bulbs are good or not.

That's what the new regs are all about ... safety of pregnant women.

And bulbs

 

I’m screwed. I don’t even have a seatbelt light. Guess I better wire one in, maybe use a glass lens’s watermelon light on my ceiling.

 

You’re going to need an alarm to go along with that light...perhaps a foghorn will suffice..under your seat of course.

 

Preferably one that blinks !!

 

Remember the old war movies the submarine with that ratchet horn and all the blinking lights!!!
