I honestly think selling those seatbelt clamps or whatever you want to call it should be illegal. Wear the seatbelt... That's the best clamp out there.

I 100% agree with wearing a seatbelt and will not start driving until my passenger puts it on as well. Question I do have though is there a way to lower the volume of the chime? Thing actually hurts my ears!

When I was 16 (1995), I got pulled over by a PO a block away from my house. He asked why I wasn't wearing my seat belt and I told him I had just run up to the gas station and was going home. He said "MOST accidents occur within a mile from home" and he wrote me a ticket. I'll never forget that, and I've worn my seat belt every time I get in the car from then on. It takes 1 second to put it on and 1 second to take it off.
He was right too. I've been in 2 major accidents and 3 fender benders and EVERY one of them was within a mile from my house, lol. Statistically, it makes sense because I spend most of the time driving around town, about a mile from home... Therefore, I'd be less likely to get hurt if I didn't wear my seat belt when I was traveling farther from home, but should absolutely wear it if I'm running up to the store.

A contrarian's opinion...
There is a theory that "stupidity" is weaning itself out of the human gene pool by killing those committing the stupidest acts. Another example is motorcyclist not wanting to wear a helmet. Let folks have free will and the world gets better. |

The car companies should go back to the original seatbelt reminders used from the early 70s-mid 80s, which were piezo-electric tweeters that emitted an annoying buzz. Only make it louder. And constant until the seatbelts are fastened.

You should wear it. Had a accident I'm my last car 4 blocks from my house. There were 3 SUV's parked near the corner 1 right on the corner ( naturally he moved before the cops came) I couldn't see the side street they couldn't see me either .
Lucky I slowed down a bit before I got to the intersection but still got hit. The worst is going to work in the middle of the night when all the as*holes are out, drunks who go to fast or to slow , people without headlights on, people running lights. Worst than daytime driving even if there's only 1 other car on the road that's the a-hole. |

OP, I totally get it.
I've had luck by google searching "Darwin seatbelt eliminator"

I know there used to be a way to defeat it at least in Ford vehicles. It was some odd combo of with the car on but not running buckle the belt like 3 or 4 times and it would disable it. It was in the owners manual, but they may not have a way of disabling them anymore
