I verified this just this am....

Dave,
When I did my research before buying the Hans Device, they said it should be used without a neck collar. Some have said you should wear the neck collar in addition but as far as I know it was specific about not wearing a neck collar with the Hans. That being said I guess you would have to wear a head sock. Why not in a closed body car?
