I got in my car after work and attempted to put on my seat belt. It would not latch. I tried for over 10 minutes, to no avail. I had to drive home approximately 20 miles at midnight on the freeway, not wearing a seatbelt. This was very frightening because I always wear a seatbelt. In addition, it is illegal to drive without a seatbelt in California.
