I recall a conversation I had with someone a few years ago, might have been my dad 
He proposed that to make driving safer you install a steel spike in the steering wheel pointing directly at the driver's chest. The driver would be so aware of the danger he was in, should there be an accident, that he would drive more cautiously and, therefore, safer.
Not too sure what the RoSPA would say about it

I saw an excellent (if somewhat grusome) documentary last year about the development of car safety over the last 50 years. The point was made that because of the considerable advances in car safety drivers where taking more and more risks on the road.

I'll scan a pic of my M3 write off in the next few days, just to show that an awfully large part of the outcome is down to luck.

Rog,
In answer:-
Cost for the harness or the whole car?
Website for the harness or for my car (pic of my car is in my album here I think)?
Yes, AFAIK but I'll be checking this Sunday when I go over to move the pedal box, since the harness is fixed just behind the shoulders and the engine is only a 1300 Xflow i'm not too worried about the 3" webbing since there isn't too much strap to stretch.
I only have a drivers seat, I have a fire extinguisher for a passenger.
This is in the Locost, not the S2000. Fitting to the S2000 would be more difficult since the seats don't have holes for straps and mounting points would be hard to find. As I have a Caterham race seat in the Locost all the right holes are in it and the mounting points a pretty much where I decide to put them (within reason).
