Default Seatbelt trick

Not sure if I shared this tip before. Recently @Iamsooodonewiththis posted:

The trick I use is that after clicking in the seatbelt, I pull it out as far at it goes and then hook it on the manual/emergency brake. This leaves the cross strap "hovering" in the air in front of me, instead of pressing on me.

Definitely helps me. Hope it helps you.
