 Does anyone else get annoyed at the seatbelt alarm in cars that just keeps getting more and more frantic if you don’t comply?

I got it, but I’m just moving a few hundred meters, and I’m a fucking adult who can make his own decisions. 🤬

Or am I just nuts. 
 💯 
 Go to junkyard and get an extra seatbelt buckle from your make and model for $2, problem solved 
 It’s just the odd time. I don’t mind not dying in an accident but no need for the hysterics when it’s a short drive. 

Don’t want another random thing to deal with. 
 the car doesnt know its a short drive, usually the alarm will go off after a few minutes 
 You can 3D print an insert for that  
 drives me absolutely nuts 
 I know someone who drives with seatbelt off and the alarm blaring the whole time! lol. It’s a Toyota 
 It never stops on Toyota
Lol 
 Your car must be too new 😄 
 When I had a car with that, I considered removing the alarm.  While camping on BLM land, I just had the seatbelt clasped behind the seat. 
 They want to make you feel nuts. NO YOU ARE NOT.

Simple trick is using the passenger one to click on the driver's one.. or you can have by default one inserted (from a other seat belt, but just the click without the belt) always in, and take it off the moments you really one to use your seat belt for longer journeys  
 I hear ya, bro  
 No. Just drive a car from 1998. 
 My dream. Early 90s mint condition Toyota Hilux. Only modern feature would be a dope sound system. 
 You're not alone 😆
I bet there's a way to disable it.🤔 
 Here is a question for you.... Why i dont need a seatbelt when i ride my motorcycle😅 
 Can't wait for smart refrigerators refusing me another beer. 
 There is a line we must not allow them to cross. 
 When my cousin was little I let him sit in the front seat, he was so excited. Setting off, the seat belt alarm starts beeping, I decided to mess with him:

"OHMYGAWD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! IF YOU DONT PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON, THE CAR WILL BLOW UP"

The beeping then gets more urgent

never going to forget watching him scramble🤣🤣🤣🤣 alarm still annoying though

 
 It's annoying but lowkey, wait until the geofencing kicks in 
 Yes. Fln oath. Would like that circuit removed. Totally retarded fiat features 
 No, you don't have to adult anymore, they've got your back man! 
 😂 
 Not nuts. 
 It's the car and not the Uber app? 

😆

Well that explains a few things. 👀 I thought it was the Uber app. Too funny. 
 Check under the seat. Disconnect the plug which connects to the seatbelt. Thank me later. 
 Tomorrow now has a project. 
 How is the project goin? 
 what about when your (usually woman's) bag is so heavy that the passenger seat alarm sounds 💀 
 But what would you do without those birthday candles?! 
 😂🎂 
 You’re not nuts. 
The world is going nuts… 
 I feel seen. 🫂 
 Its not mandated so are the manufacturers just being overcomplyoors? 
 That wouldn't even be so bad. 🥴 
The new models start beeping extremely persistently if you're just 5 km/h over the speed limit, everything is recorded and reported to the manufacturers and insurance companies, and the microphone records everything. It's a privacy nightmare! 
 Naples fixed this long time ago 
 i got you my man…

 in the Balkans some drivers are so averse to wearing a seatbelt that they buy little metal seatbelt clasps that they click into the seatbelt recepticle thing to stop the beep.

 You remind me of being on short drives where the driver just doesn't put on their seatbelt and lets the alarm go on and on and on.. 🙄  
 My wife bought a seat belt extension.  Problem solved.  Her GMC Yukon won't even drive if you don't first buckle up. (I think it let's you drive after like 60 seconds if you don't buckle up but what if zombies were chasing you?) 
 Raise your ass 😛. 
 Seems the nicer the car the less obnoxious they are 🤔
