Well I'm glad the issues are all resolved except the original question. I had not thought about the use of harnesses at DE events. Good point. Now since I am getting harnesses I would like to know how to turn off the annoying "Gong"

Gentlemen,
I've read this thread twice, and I have a comment.....that whole routine about being grown men, and having freedom of choice is for the birds....I've had 2 friends who didn't wear seatbelts, and one is crippled for life, and the other one is dead.....both accidents happened within 10 miles of their respective residences.....ever since then, if I leave my driveway, I wear a seatbelt....I owe that to my family......
And further to the comment of freedom of choice, I'd like to be the judge & jury when I see some moron swerving between lanes, and when I go to pass them, they're engaged in a cellphone conversation.....I'd like that law to change!!
....and when I overtakes someone bridging 2 lanes, and see them inputting data to a navigation system, that law needs to change....
I can go on further, but I think you all get my point.....no, I don't NEED to wait for the law to change to know that this kind of behavior while driving is unacceptable.......
What do you think those click it or ticket signs are for all over the country. They're not only for your good, it's also for the other guy. And why do you think no fault insurance is so high?
WEAR YOUR SEATBELT.....ALWAYS......PLEASE!!!!!!

I am a grown man, I don't need anyone telling me or suggesting for me what to do. With all do respect we have all had friends die in car accidents, and I am sure many were wearing seatbelts. I guess it's shouldn't be my choice to smoke, or do 300 KMH on my bike, because I could get hurt,and the argument about it being the law, come on please we ALL break the law in our cars..so i understand what your saying , but If i don't want to wear my seatbelt I will not, and if i am killed because of the fact, it's my problem.I think the morons swerving from lane to lane while talking on the phone shouldn't wear theirs , this way once they are killed it's one less ******* on the road I don't have to deal with.

We don't need to debate this issue.....it's black & white in this country.

How such a simple question can get blown out of proportion is beyond me - we are talking about that damn "PING....PING....PING" no whether or not we should wear our seatbelts. If you wear your seatbelt 100% of the time - good - great for you - we will all get together, pool some cash and buy a trophy for you that says - "RLandis - person voted as most unlikely to never break a rule" then you can put that trophy on your bookshelf and tell the story of how you became the recipient of such an honor.
Now.....my '04 does not stop PINGING even after 4 or 6 or 8 seconds - I was fumbling around at the bank drive-thru yesterday and almost went mental. I guess if this is my biggest problem in life then I'm not doing too badly, but .... I am very particular about certain things and this really annoys me. None of my other cars do this - and yes I know "just put on the seatbelt" bla bla bla - but there are circumstances where for brief moments you might not have it on for what ever reason. AND.... yes I am starting a sentence with AND, in case someone wanted to point out that I am breaking the first rule of good grammar, I am not the only one who has thought of ripping out every audio speaker in their car just to find out which one is contributing to that PING...PING...PING.
I think i might need professional help.
