A driver restraint device is provided for an industrial truck which has a driver's seat. The driver restraint device has a belt (4) and a belt buckle (8). A closing latch (5) which is connected to the belt (4) can be fastened to the belt buckle (8). The belt (4) can be automatically retracted by means of a retractor (9), whereby when the belt (4) is retracted, the closing latch (5) is in a defined inoperative position. The belt (4) is fastened to a mounting device which is connected to the driver's seat so that when the closing latch (5) is in the defined inoperative position, it is located in front of a vertical transverse plane (12) which divides the seat surface (1) of the driver's seat in the middle. In an additional embodiment of the invention, the belt buckle (8) is fastened to a mounting device which is connected to the driver's seat so that the belt buckle (8) is located in front of a vertical transverse plane (12) which divides the seat surface (1) of the driver's seat in the middle.
