Also I noticed the belt keeps me restraint when getting on on/off ramps. To correct this I have to lean back so the belt loosens up and lean forward again so I can check my mirror to merge. Once again these are all SUBTLE movements of my torso, not quick a quick jerking motion.
Can someone shine some light on my issue because as much as I hate to say it, the belt AS OF NOW is doing more harm than good.

I experienced the overly-restrictive belt, too, when checking blind spots. That is all.
