Derek & others, There are several types & Thickness of Safety Neck
Collars available, some of which have a taper wedge shape at the front for
just the problem you address. The Cart & IRL people use them in several
sizes per driver, helment, & personal response to how much or how little
taper is required or wanted. You normally will not buy these off the
shelf however, but by order.
