Default GT4 "safety" issues at autocross.

Issues I did not have with my RS.
1. Tell every passenger that the yellow strap is NOT the grab handle, no exceptions. Twice a passenger has opened the side door on a run.

2. Tell every passenger that their left hand should be between their legs holding on to the seat bottom. Yesterday it happened again. Passengers left hand was at their left side and they hit the center console latch. Very busy and fast part of the course and the lid popped up just as I started to execute a very hard right turn. Did not make it as my right elbow slammed into the lid and stopped right there. Yes, I have a bruise there today. And I went OC. That run was toast.

I guess it's good that 99% of us don't have that issue then...

My Dad forgot to buckle his seatbelt for a run last weekend. The car started dinging a bloody murder alert at us halfway through the course. Mildly distracting. Trying to figure out WTF is going on in the middle of a slalom is difficult.

While it pertains to woodworking, it does apply to most things
