Sure. Put on the seatbelt.


Not only will it turn off that "annoying" alarm but it may also save your life.

Maybe you shouldn't be so judgmental since you don't know peoples situation....and maybe if you don't have anything nice or helpful to say you should say nothing at all or mind your own business.

Shellee,

You can disable the seat belt alarm by clicking in a dummy seat belt tongue (official name of the male part of the seat latch). Go to the salvage yard and buy the seat belt tongue. Just be sure to bring something to cut the seat belt off with, unless you want to go through the trouble of unbolt it.

There are very few legitimate reasons for not wearing a seatbelt. All are medical and a doctor's note specifically detailing the issue must be forwarded to NHTSA for approval of airbag deactivation


http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shop...activation+FAQ


The airbag must be deactivated if there is a medical reason for not wearing a seatbelt.


The medical community has determined that there are only extremely rare instances in which a seat belt should not be worn - recent major surgery in the area of the seatbelt is the only one I can think of.


In that case, the exemption would be very temporary and it is unlikely that the patient would be able to drive safely during this time period until the wound has healed. Once healed, there no longer exists a reason for not wearing a seatbelt. Implanted devices (pacemakers, defibrillators etc.) are not a reason to not wear the seatbelt.


Quite simply, unless you have had recent surgery (i.e. bandaged open wound following breast surgery or open heart surgery for example), you should be wearing your seatbelt.


I'm not being judgmental because I know that 99% of the people that think that they have a reason not to wear a seatbelt don't. No need to feel sorry for yourself - just wear your seatbelt.


Oh, and it is illegal for a junkyard or any other establishment to sell you a device that they know can be used to bypass a required safety feature in a car. Seatbelts are required safety features

ceb, while your siting is useful it still doesn't actually address the fact that you don't know peoples situation. What if she had something placed in the passenger seat as part of her daily commute or business? She could easily have a grocery bag, heavy purse, flowers, cakes, any number of things that would make the seatbelt alarm go off. I frequently set my gym bag in my passenger seat and it sets off the seatbelt alarm.

I will enjoy hearing your rebuttal about setting things in the front seat that don't belong there, along with reading your cited sources!
