“I just started driving my car longer distances to work and my neck and shoulders are killing me. Upon further research it is because of a terrible decision for safety how can it be safety when driving every day injures your back and neck. I turned the head rest around backwards and it is slightly better but for someone my size (5'1 woman) it is terribly uncomfortable to drive with these head rests. I plan on straightening the curve myself this weekend. Whiplash has to be better than this. Please test this safety bs on humans and not just crash dummies. …”
