    Who needs seat belts when you have a Schroth Rallye 4 Harness.

    Putting on a seat belt is too much hassle, but putting on a specific T-shirt everytime you drive isnt? :crazy:

    I sure wouldn't want to try and trick a Chinese police officer. Seems to me like you would want more than one t-shirt, or do they just wear it while driving to keep it from getting rank?

    This does remind me of a story though. My friend had a minor car accident a couple of years ago. No injuries but her car was not driveable. She was offered a ride home by the police officer. As she was about to buckle up, the officer said "Don't worry about it" he continued saying something that she didn't have to buckle up when in the care of an officer or some bs. She buckled up anyway, the officer said "Don't you trust me?" I think she just said she felt more comfortable wearing it. Not sure what I would have said but I would not have been happy.

    Italians had tee shirts like that when they first introduced seat belt laws in Italy, years ago.

    Yes, I remember similar stories about t-shirts years ago when seatbelt laws were enacted in Naples, Italy.

    Stinking Badges?

    FYI: I saw that there is a national replay of Blazing Saddles on the big screen on May 15 this year. One of those movie groups that shows NYC Opera and Star Trek TV re-runs on the big screen.
