THE NEW HEAD RESTRAINTS THAT YOU REQUIRE BECAUSE OF THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY EVALUATIONS HAVE CREATED A HEAD RESTRAINT THAT IS NOT USABLE. I WENT TO SEE ABOUT PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE BUT FOUND WITH THE NEW HEAD RESTRAINT I CAN NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE, I CAN SEE THE HOOD BUT THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE HEAD RESTRAINT PREVENTS MY HEAD FROM MOVING TO A POSITION TO SEE OUT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY I COULD SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE SEAT POSITIONED WHERE I WANT IT WAS TO REMOVE THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE DESIGNED HEAD RESTRAINT, THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM CREATED BY THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE. I THINK THE RESEARCH THEY DID IS FLAWED BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE ARE HIT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IS WHEN THEY ARE STOPPED AND WHAT I SEE WHEN PEOPLE ARE STOPPED IS THEY ARE LEANING OVER PLAYING WITH THE RADIO OR CELL PHONE, IN A POSITION WHERE THEIR HEAD IS NO WHERE NEAR THE HEAD RESTRAINT. CONTRARY TO WHAT THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR SAFETY THINKS PEOPLE DO NOT SIT-UP STRAIGHT WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING. EITHER I WILL KEEP MY OLD CARS TILL I DIE, NOT HELPING THE ECONOMY, OR DRIVE A NEW ONE WITH THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR SAFETY HEAD RESTRAINTS REMOVED AND LET THE AMBULANCE CHASER HANDLE IT IF I GET REAR ENDED. MAY BE THEY CAN CO AFTER THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR THEIR GREAT DESIGN. *TR
