I'm sure the actual law varies from state to state BUT that is irrelevant...if you don't have the shoulder belt on you will get pulled over. The cops don't really know the law, so some won't be so nice and write you a ticket anyway...and it will be your problem to go to court and prove you are right. You might want to pull your factory ones and stash them...(or sell them for big bucks) and get some cheap ones that are easier to get on and off for daily use. I just installed shoulder belts in my truck for this very reason.
