I had one when I was started driving again.

Did you have to take a special course to get a license after injury?

Seat belts are great for collisions or hard braking, but I could easily fall sideways without some kind of chest restraint.

Is it your first renewal since accident? If so then yes you would need a special course to renew it.

Good news for me...If I get the modification equipmeent and learn to drive with it while my license (from before the accident) is still valid, then all I have to do is show up and take my next driving test in the modified vehicle. In Texas, we don’t have to pay for a special course.

Best of luck to you Vintage on taking your test. It will be a breeze I bet. I got my seat belt thru the driving instructor that taught me to drive with the hand controls. I just did a google on "seat belt restraints for adults" and there are bunch of different ones to pick from.
