'03 Civic LX seatbelt reminder beeps

I use my seatbelts. No thrill for me, but when you admit you "should"
wear it, but don't, my only thought was "cheap thrill."

That's not what I meant. If you have to make a quick move to avoid
someone or something, the odds of you hitting your head on the
windshield is increased.
Then again, the way you've approached this discussion, the whack to your
noggin might just instill the sense that the good people of this ng are
trying to make you understand.

Tegger is right. You can do as you please.
But, you shouldn't get all bent out of shape because the majority
disagrees with your logic. When you break it down, we're looking out for
your best interest.
Why be so standoffish about it?

 

I asked a simple question and got called lazy and was told I was a bad
example for my kids. You figure it out.

 

Good point. I'm finished with this thread.

 

What's your reason for not wearing the seat belt? Because you're too lazy
to

I wouldn't worry about it. When you get into your 15 mph accident, slide
forward due to lack of seatbelt and have the airbag go off and crush your
chest and/or break your neck, most likely killing you, you won't have to
worry about the annoying beeping anymore.

 

Nah, I don't have a pencil-neck like you do but thanks for your
concern, snapper-head.

 

LOL It's funny, because it's true. I'm scared to death of my airbag.

 

Put on the seatbelt.

 

why would they give you info on disabling it. that kind of defeats the
purpose of having it. they figure if you cannot stand the beeping you will
put the seatbelt on. just wear it you will be surprised at how fast u get
used to putting it on and it will save your life when u least expect it to.

 

============
HyDro, you said: "when u least expect it to"

That's a keen observation. You'd probably agree that the people who get
killed in car wrecks are the same people who, if they had lived, would
have said: "You know, I wasn't expecting to be involved in a terrible
crash or I would have worn my seat belt, set my headrest at the correct
height, read the instructions that came with my kid's carseat, learned
how ABS works, taken a defensive driving course, read the fine owner's
manual, kept a fire extinguisher in the car, and taken a first aid
course, etc, etc, etc.

Peer pressure has no effect on people once they're dead, ie: Have you
ever gone to a funeral of somebody who died needlessly, and while you're
listening to the glowing liturgy, you wonder if everybody else
(including the priest) is thinking the same thing you're thinking: "What
an irresponsible JACKASS _______ was, because of his STUPIDITY, he's
short-changed his family of 20, 30, maybe 50 more years of wonderful living.

You almost want to say it out loud, but instead, you all say AMEN, and
they roll the casket down the aisle.

stopping short is also a way for you to go through a windshield there does
not have to be anyone else involved in the accident. nobody said it had to
be a TWO CAR accident.NO BODY EXPECTS TO BE IN CAR ACCIDENTS WHICH IS WHY
THEY ARE CALLED ACCIDENTS. which is also why you should wear your seatbelt
all the time.i lost one of my best friends because he WAS NOT WEARING HIS
SEATBELT he died less then 5 minutes from his house. he turned a corner hit
black ice lost control hit a tree....went through the windshield . which is
why i press people on wearing seatbelts. i dont say it to be a dick. i
really dont. its just better to see people wear their seatbelts and know
that if they do infact get into an accident that they will have some sort of
chance. thats all i wanted to say ...

I've remained silent on this till now but I think it's time to pipe up.
It's been known for years that a large %age of accidents - don't have
numbers off the top of my head - happen in the first 5mins or so of
driving. There is a conditioning process which happens when you get in a
car and drive - it takes a little bit of time to tune out some of the
little trivialities of life and bring the concentration up to the level
required for road safety in terms of reaction time, overall awareness of
surroundings, road conditions and other vehicles on the road.

Add in the fact that the first few minutes may be in local housing roads,
where many people "switch off", including those coming home - that feeling
that they live there so this bit of road sort of belongs to them and they
*know* that they've run this and that stop sign umpteen times (even
slowly), cut a few corners here and there, reversed out of the driveway
without paying proper attention, with no undue consequences.... until!!
Some of my near misses have been within a mile or so of leaving the house
and I see plenty who don't "miss", fortunately mostly fender benders. For
anyone who considers a seat belt worth wearing anytime, that first 5mins
can be the most important.
