Is it dangerous to ride with a locked seatbelt? Mine is constantly.locking and I hate having to unbuckle it to fix it.

Depends on the vehicle manual. Probably not on an older car, but something with pretensioners and load limiters, or that new dual latchplate/retractor thing on some Chevies might care.

Hmm, its an 06 Explorer. I'm not sure if it has all that good stuff. Its not an issue when I'm driving since it unlocks after a minute, but its a PITA when I'm in the passenger seat. DH isn't going to pull over every time it locks, and honestly, it would be impossible on the interstate. I just hate doing it at a light or unbuckling real quick to rebuckle.
