Hi All.

I am trying to find a company that sells Seat belt Sled/convinser. i work in the middle east as a HSE Advisor/Defensive driver trainer and one of the main issues i am having is trying to get the point across to individuals about the importance of wearing seat belts. Does anyone out there know of companies that sell these? Any help shall be gratefully received
thanks in advance.

Can't help on the kit you are looking for, but another tack is working on culture change. I worked in the middle east for some years. One of our Saudi drivers was once telling me about how his daughter's face was re - arranged when she was standing between the front seats and he had to brake suddenly resulting in her bouncing off the windscreen. Having discussed how terrible/unfortunate this event was, he replied "In'sh Allah" I did manage to point out to him that sometimes we have to help Allah by taking the basic steps to protect ourselves. This did appear to be a novel idea to him and he did take it on board.

Yes your are right about the culture issue. ive been Training Defensive driving in Middle east for 3 years now!!. i give them a presentation with plenty videos of accidents showing the consequences of no seat belts, speed or using mobile phonesetc. Shock treatment seems to work well !!!!
