How can i convince my fiancee to wear her shoulder belt when in the car?

She wears her lap belt, but always insists on putting the shoulder part of the belt under her arm. I insist that it's not anywhere near as safe, and i don't want to budge on this. SHE claims that it chokes her, and that's why she won't wear it. She feels that i'm badgering her too much about it, and wants me to just let it go. I need a site or something that shows statistics of what happens without just the shoulder belt.

When safe to do so, go driving with her and when you get to 45 or 50 MPH hit your brakes HARD. You don't have to stop the car completely, just give that jolt that a wreck would give a lot more of.

If they DON'T, stop trying to control her. She's too stubborn to cooperate. This situation will not improve in the future, so give some thought to THAT before marriage.
