I have to confess, I forget the exact procedure and it is kind of important to have the details, otherwise you will waste your time. So make sure you research it and find the instructions!   Craig

Replying to: jam05 (Jan 27, 2005 11:20 am) Yeah, but here we go down the slippery slope:   <begin silly rant> Pretty soon waivers will be signed for smoking, drinking alcohol, using chewing tobacco.... then what? Oh, how about red meat? How about eating non-organic foods that contain trace amounts of known carcinogens that could cause cancer? Oh, well, while we're at it, better ban extreme sports because it is better to prevent the possibility of injury than to treat it. Heck, let's just ban all sports. Oops. I forgot to tell you that driving increases your risk of injury. We don't do that any more. Wait wait! Where are you going? Didn't you hear that it is more dangerous to leave your house than to stay at home? There's a standing order that you may only travel outside the home for 1 hour of each day. Hello! You have a newborn! Please have your infant sign here stating that due to accepting the terminal condition of life, it holds the rest of the world harmless for any injury, affliction, or illness it may receive regardless of cause or intent. Thank you. Have a good life and stay well. ;-D   Ridiculous, yes, but once choices begin to be limited, there's always a good justification for taking away another one. Then again, we are not talking about disallowing the choice, merely requesting the person sign a waiver for it, but where would it end?   Hahahaha. Who knows, but darn it, let's start with seatbelts! </end silly rant>   Seriously, though, at least Subaru designed a disable mode to prevent the endless chime from being a customer retention problem. It is just too bad that it is all-or-nothing.   Just out of curiosity, how many of you allow passengers in your car the option of not buckling up? What are your reasons for your choice?

I tell passengers to buckle up, but I won't stop the car if they refuse. If they just brush me off I'll haze them a bit and I can be pretty convincing.   ...But if they still resist, it's their life not mine.   ~Colin Replies to this message: dcm61 (Jan 27, 2005 4:25 pm)

it's not ticketable in Kansas unless you're stopped for some other violation.   ~c

I take pretty much the same stance, Colin, unless the person is a family member. In that case, I demand the seatbelt; I'm not sure why. Maybe I feel more comfortable about giving them heck about it. In AK, it is also not ticketable unless for some other violation, and it is also not ticketable if there is not a belt available for a passenger as long as the passenger is in a seat(for example, if I had 3 people in the cab of my pickup because there are only two belts). However, if you are over capacity (say, with 6 people in a 5-passenger car like the OB), then you can be pulled over for that as well as fined for unbelted passengers.   However, I have given stranded folks rides lately (breakdowns, etc), and never will they buckle up. I try to reason with myself that, like Colin said, it's not my life, but then I think about how terrible I would feel if we were in a wreck with ME as the driver and the passenger died primarily because of not wearing a seatbelt. The whole guilt thing......

that commercial that's slow motion with the young kids in the back seat that aren't buckled up, and the car hits something, and those kids from the back end up smacking into the people in the front (or something like that). i think everyone ends up dead.   while a dramatic commercial, i think it may be more accurate to say everyone's life is jeopardized when someone doesn't use their seatbelt.
