    I always wear a seat belt. Like you said it's your choice to forgo one of the best safety systems designed into your car. The bong can be programmed to be silent. Helix did a bunch of programming on our clubster at the dragon a few years ago. The seat belt nanny was silenced at that time.

    Here you go, $20.00 each. I choose not to wear a seatbelt and hate the stupid chime. I leave them in all the time and have no chime without any coding.

    I bought a set of these and red plasti dipped the ends. They are easily removable if the passenger wants to wear a seatbelt.

    I wear a harness at the Dragon.

    I always wear my seatbelt, but hate the MINI "chime." How can I turn it down, at least?

    I may get one of those Chimex things for the passenger seat when my dog is in the car. He is just heavy enough to set off the "chime."

    I ALWAYS wear mine, but sometimes in the Porker the damn thing goes off anyhow!

    It hasn't done it since the Dragon though, which has me thinking it was a sticky weight sensor for the passenger seat, and got worked loose on the road trip. Before that nobody had really ever ridden in that seat, so almost 5000 miles of having Jack ride shotgun might have been enough to fix it.

    I don't think anyone here is telling you to wear your seatbelt, just telling you they wear theirs. That is your choice & I respect that. Don't understand it, but respect your choice to do as you wish.

    I would never drive without seat belts. The school bus just shows the hypocrisy of the do gooders in the government. They tell us our kids need to be in safety seats and use seat belts. I don't mind a law saying kids must use them, they can't make that decision yet. But when we intrust our kids to them shouldn't they be required to use the same care?
