Default Racing seat belts vs regular street belts question?

I heard that using a race harness (like a Takata) in the streets is not a good idea but shouldnt they be safer since they are designed to handle worse accidents than regular street accidents? I dont want to be the ricer driving around with takatas bc it looks cool.
Safety=win

Search for "harness" in the RR/AX archives. All your questions will be answered.

I have mounted Schroth 4points along with my factory belts in my 5th gen Prelude. Best of both worlds. Schroths have the "ASM" strap on one side which should not allow you to submarine in an impact.

Driving round town with the 4points is a pain and trying to keep yourself in a leather seat with the factory belt driving round the track is a pain! Wes

With a harness you better have rollover protection or goodbye brain.
