Driving carrying appendix

During my concealed carry course, the instructor advised students who choose to carry their firearms in the appendix position to tuck their seatbelt underneath their firearm. This precaution is recommended to prevent potential injuries in the event of an accident, as the seatbelt pressing against the body could potentially cause pelvic trauma.
What are your thoughts on carrying an appendix firearm with a seatbelt?
Wearing the seat belt under your holster is advisable to avoid to your abdomen. Doctors has advised the same for pregnant women for the same reason.

What are your thoughts on carrying an appendix firearm with a seatbelt?
I move the seat belt not for safety if there were to be a crash but for quick access to firearm. That or I just drive with pistol unholstered on my lap depending on if I'm in a high crime, sketchy neighborhood
 
No and right now only friends and family

It's part of an investigation related to my PI firm and thus client confidentiality
 
I've used my CCW twice in 2 years lol, and I don't appendix carry
I've used my CCW once in 27 years (didn't shoot the guy) and I have only ever carried appendix. And it was in a low-crime OC beach town. What works for you doesn't work for everyone.
