About
DROH Ltd innovates new ideas for driving safely and in comfort.
Key Benefits
Many people find wearing a seatbelt uncomfortable because the seatbelt cuts into their chest and breast area. This means that people do not wear their seatbelts correctly.
This device, by raising the seatbelt, increases the wearers comfort as it lifts the seatbelt away from the chest and breast area. The device attaches to the seatbelt but still allows the free flowing of the belt as it is put on and taken off. The device is placed just below the collar bone.
The device is wider than the seatbelt at its base. This extra width can help improve a person’s centre of gravity around the belt and so help reduce whiplash in an accident.
Applications
The main target market are those people who find wearing seatbelts uncomfortable because they cut into the chest area. However, there are other markets such as those who drive for many hours and find wearing a seatbelt uncomfortable for long periods, such as lorry drivers.
