My chair came with a chest strap and the way my aid drives you definitely need one

I wear chest straps too but I don't have any problem with my chair moving. It's an Invacare storm series. ( I was wondering if anybody else had to use straps). I found out soon after I got my van that the regular seatbelt was not going to help any. I had a green light to turn right on a highway ramp and when I turned, I fell to the right side and luckily my husband was with me & pushed me back upright. I think Bobbie has the best story on the list with her driving experience.
