I wouldn't think anything would hold it in place in that case. Hopefully I can avoid such situations by defensive driving but there's no accounting for others. When I used to ride a Triumph T140V (and the headlight was always on) I would always take care at road junctions where a car was waiting anticipating it would pull out in front of me and on quite a number of occasions I was right. I've found that cars do pull out in front of me thinking that I'm going slower than they thought. Just because it's an old Land Rover doesn't mean it's slow.

I have a stoplock and when not in use it is locked onto the seatbelt bar with the long tongue down behind the bulkhead

Not impossible to put the Disklok into the seat belt - especially if it's an inertia reel.

My installation is just to prevent the disc sliding everywhere.

I have rope tied in the back, with a climbing caribeener on the end.there is a small hole on the disc lock that is part of the mechanism, I found a caribeener that would fit through. Its quick and easy to use, just clips in and out. Obviously I set the rope far enough back it can't hit the back of my head if it tries to fly fwd.
