Toms answer is the best. Why are people against wearing seat belts these days

...well you have to pull out of the driveway...put on your seatbelt...have to close the gate...put on your seatbelt...have to be on your way...put on your seatbelt...kinda seems a little naderish to me~

Listen to Tom. Wear the belt. If it still chimes when all the belts are connected, then look for a short in the system that will not make a correct connection when the belt is connected. Lost of time and work, but once fixed, hook up and go.

Looking at some of these answers (like: put your seatbelt on), there really needs to be a "mark as unhelpful" button!

Tom's answer is fine for Tom. I do not live in Russia and will not let the government tell me when to wear my seat belt. Have people or "sheeple" forgot the whole concept this country was founded on was freedom.

No you don't live in Russia, but have you considered moving to Idaho or Montana? Anyone can sky dive, but if they want to do it again, you need to wear a parachute. Anyone can drive a car. but if you're in a serious accident and want to drive again, wear the frigged seat-belt. There are people that are so stuck on self freedom, that everything is questioned, and they go out of their way to go against common sense that is for their own personal safety. Why carry a shotgun hunting and have the safety on? My cousin wishes his brother followed that advice when hunting pheasants. Buckshot taken out of the ass and legs is painful. Don't listen to the statistics on lives saved because of seat belts or collapsible steering wheels, or even disc brakes and anti-locking brake systems. Never mind the safety glass used in cars and trucks. Just keep your head buried in the sand, ass in the air, but don't complain when you get rear ended.

I'd expect anyone in California to agree, that everyone would be perfectly safe if we never set foot outside of our houses. That we'd all feel much better being required to wear padded suits when we go out. A 5 mile per hour speed limit and no one would ever be injured by a car again. Oh the comforting bliss of living in our very own padded cells...

Choice is yours. After 30+ years in law enforcement, anyone including me in my car has a seat belt on and fastened. You can drive safely, do all the rules of the road, but just once someone or something is going to have a bad day and your's may be even worse, if you can realize it.

If you don't know the answer, then don't post your useless insight! There are plenty of good reasons for disabling it.

Granted you should wear your seat belt. But I believe initially its the alarm reminder that's rather annoying. Are we this imbecilic that alarms & flashing lights are needed? Oh that's right- it also generates revenue for your local city or state if caught not wearing it. Yet, where I am in Pennsylvania there's no motorcycle helmet law. Explain that one. Also, ever notice there're no seat belts in the back of a police van when transporting prisoners? At least I know there aren't where I am. Just built in benches to sit on. Yeah, REAL concerned about safety. Steve R Pennsylvania

I omitted to mention also, no seat belts on school buses, public transit buses & public transit trains. Go figure. Steve R

"Listen to statistics", "follow the rules", "don't question the government!" Don't you know that seatbelts save lives on private driveways when your only going 10 mph to ride down to get your mail, or driving through your own pasture. Geez, some of you people act like you actually bought your vehicle and should be aloud to disable an annoying worthless chime if you want to. What the heck?

This is an old post and I don't want to start the whole debate again. I simply need to know how to disable it as I'm a multi drop courier and only go 50 meters between drops. Yes I know its not the most fuel efficient car to be using, but my vans knackered and I'm using the car. I'm not required by law to wear a belt as a multi drop courier (have checked this with PC Plod/Highway Code) because of the short distance between drops. The seat belt noise is getting very annoying hand today has become louder! Along with the noise from my hazard lights too. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just remember, when you tamper with the seatbelt system, disconnecting, warning lights or sounds, if you get in a wreck, your insurance company will not support your claim. Your fault or not, they will check the system. Just saying.
