        yeah i got one of those and my wife got really mad at me. i mostly just drove 5 blocks to work in a 30mph residential road. if i got on the highway, i’d take it out and put the belt on

          I don’t understand why you’d put the burden of that extra step on yourself rather than just wearing your seatbelt

            its not an extra step. 9/10 trips were short trips in a neighborhood, and saved the step of putting on the seatbelt. 1/10 trips on highway with an additional step. saved me 9/10 steps.

              But putting on your seatbelt should be just as automatic as using your blinkers… right?

              …right?

          My friends complain about the seatbelt alarm going off because they don’t wear their seatbelt. Instead of wearing their seatbelt they defeated the safety mechanism, problem solved!

      Dang! If I still talked to my parents I’d have just found the perfect Christmas present!
