Hi jc76, when searching for a solution to my seat belt dilemma I watched a video on YouTube. In it the guy showed placing the seat belt under the arm. He went on to say that the upper portion of the seat belt (known as the 3 part restraint) keeps you from hitting your head on the dash or steering column in the event of an accident. So in effect the seat belt becomes only a 2 part restraining system just like in the old days when cars came with lap belt seat belts. He also said that wearing a seat belt below the arm is actually illegal in some states. I found this on the web:
Legal Consequences:
Many states have laws requiring seatbelts to be worn properly. While specific wording may vary, wearing the shoulder belt under the arm is generally considered an improper use of the seatbelt and can result in a ticket or fine.
The Soft Touch pad is designed so that it creates a space above the PM so no pressure is applied. Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
All the best
Ted

I worried about if where I was wearing it would somehow affect the way the seat belt is suppose to work. Thanks for giving me that information.
When I first did it was right after first surgery. Rather than not wear the seat belt I found I could put under armpit rather than not wear one at all. I am not on my 3rd device and has become a habit. I have a seat belt that has a up down ability and I lower it so it does not pull up toward my arm.
Thanks for information on Soft Touch pad. Sounds like if it creates a space above device would really work as that (pressure and irritation on device) is what you want to avoid.
Where did you get your Soft Touch device at?
Does Amazon sell it?
Can you post or send me a private message when your's arrives and your comments on how well it works?
