Not to sound like a smartass, I keep my warning off by buckling up 100% of the time. Most deaths occur within 25 miles of your own home at speeds under 35mph (that's correct under 35mph). Most people are not killed on the freeway.

i thought it was 2 miles.

I don't think those stats are right about under 35 mph. Here's some stats from http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/new_tips.cfm?stateid=0&year=2003&tipscat=Crashes

More than 6.3 million police-reported motor vehicle crashes occurred in the United States in 2003. Almost one-third of these crashes resulted in an injury, with less than 1 percent of total crashes (38,252) resulting in a death. - [Crashes ; 2003 ]

Midnight to 3 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays proved to be the deadliest 3-hour periods throughout 2003, with 1,228 and 1,208 fatal crashes, respectively. - [Crashes ; 2003 ]

Fifty-seven percent of fatal crashes involved only one vehicle, compared to 30 percent of injury crashes and 31 percent of property-damage-only crashes. - [Crashes ; 2003 ]

More than half of fatal crashes occurred on roads with posted speed limits of 55 mph or more, while only 25 percent of property-damage-only crashes occurred on these roads. - [Crashes ; 2003 ]

Collision with another motor vehicle in transport was the most common first harmful event for fatal, injury, and property-damage-only crashes. Collisions with fixed objects and noncollisions accounted for only 19 percent of all crashes, but they accounted for 44 percent of fatal crashes. - [Crashes ; 2003 ]

Forty percent of fatal crashes involved alcohol. For fatal crashes occurring from midnight to 3 a.m., 77 percent involved alcohol. - [Crashes ; 2003 ]

geez man, am i allowed to drive 5 blocks without the beeping? the tension caused by the beeping will surely kill me before a crash at 15 mph.

anywho...sorry i started this thread, as the info is clearly in my manual. sometimes its easy to just ask here for the instant response...regardless, the beeping has been fixed, and i still have the red lightthat comes on to remind me to lock and load the seatbelts, which i always do for a real drive and find the 300's seatbelts to be non confining and comfy cozy with minimal jersey wrinklage, which is nice

I shoulda warned ya eudaman.... this is the fourth time I have seen this thread started by various people since I joined back in november. I knew the second I saw it Hemeee would be the first one to jump in. Your lucky though... she and the forum let you off easy. Some of your predecesors got H A M M E R E D by the her and the forum. But stay tuned someone else will come by and start the same post. I promise. And they will get scorched.. :spank:

Anyway, now you know what to do to turn it off and how the forum cares for your well being.
have a great weekend!

That's right Bart... now you know how much you're cared for!! :grouphug:

kid, the minute I saw this one come up again I just shook my head :no: , but since I know Bart, I figured I'd jump in and spare him the beating he was sure to get without intervention... that's why I posted the 2 previous thread links, hoping that everyone would realize there was no need to beat that dead ol' horse again.... oh, well, I tried. :shrug:

Bart, no hammering here :smashfrea ... it's just the nurse and mom in me that comes out each time I see this subject rear it's ugly head.
Again, STAY SAFE!! :kiss: (she says affectionately)

hehehe... speaking of "rearing it's ugly head" !!

 

[Northern Rider]

Good one, Zilla!

He,he, sorry Eudaman.

We did try to give you some nice graphics with our pretaped seatbelt lecture.

Should we set up a poll as to how long it will take for this question to come up again?

80 % of all serious injuries occur when people like you go around the corner to pick up cheease burgers and don't wear a seat belt...like the man below said..click or ticket it...it take you less that 3 seconds to put that belt on that could save you life chief....

just click it and ypur problem goes away~! uch: :smoker:

Thankfully, poor grammar and spelling, though painful in its own right, is not nearly as dangerous as getting cheeseburgers without a seat belt. if an accident doesn't kill you, then the cholesterol will. ;-) Kind of like "if the thunder don't get ya then the lightening will!"

As long as we are on the subject, here is a stat to remember, 1 out of 1 dies, you are not going to get out of life alive. Where you spend eternity is up to you.
