Idk. I’ve been in UBERS who literally drive around all day where the driver doesn’t have their seatbelt on and it’s just “ding…. Ding…. Ding….” For the entire trip.

Sure, with any safety feature some people are bound to ignore it. Heck maybe someone crafty enough just cuts a cord or unplugs a sensor.

But I'd bet you could greatly reduce the number of uncleared cars for a pretty small amount of money overall.

you can disable the seat belt chime on every vehicle. it's usually something like putting the turning the key to acc or single pressing the start button to turn on the electics and then just plugging and unplugging the seat belt X number of times withing a certain time period and then shutting off the car and restarting it and presto no more seat belt chime. you can do the same thing with door locking, so it either sounds the horn on lock or does make a beep or no noise at all

You can also buy seat belt clips to have something unattached to the belt that plugs in, or you can clip in the seat belt loosely and just sit in front of it.

I don't understand how these things are less effort than just wearing the seat belt, but they're both things I've seen people do.

I turned off the seatbelt chime in a previous car because the sensor was just so damn sensitive. A package of tortillas was enough to set it off
