   PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. We find no error by the trial court in submitting the case to the jury and no abuse of discretion in ruling on the qualifications of the appellant’s expert witness. See Husky Industries, Inc. v. Black, 434 So.2d 988 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983).

DOWNEY and DELL, JJ., concur.

ANSTEAD, J., dissents in part with opinion.

ANSTEAD, Judge,

dissenting in part.

I believe the trial court erred in refusing to allow the appellant’s expert to testify as to the consequences of wearing a seatbelt under the circumstances of the accident in question.
