Belt/Harness Question So I just finished installing a Stroud 5-point harness in my car, roll bar mount, wrap-around style. My OEM seatbelts for the passenger side are long gone. So my question is, legally, can I get away with a standard 2-point lap belt for the passenger, or do I NEED to have a shoulder strap? I RARELY carry passengers in my car, but just in case would a 2-point (like this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BOB-50502-4/ I live in NJ.
Thoughts?

A five point harness gets you a no seat belt ticket in IL, VA, and MD. Just carry the 75 bucks with you and pay the officer at the door and save yourself the trip to the courthouse if you live in these states. I learned VA and MD myself many moons ago, my idiot kid (who was warned ahead of time) found out in IL and he has both sets of belts in the car so there is no excuse for him.

I drove for over a year with 6-points with the top down in both PA and NH and never had an issue. They can ticket me all they want but my stock seatbelts are never going back in.
Like we talked about, get an expired matching 5-point set for the passenger.
