seat belt warning

I think the first choice is best, the second marginally so and the last one bad, if not illegal depending on jurisdiction. Anything you sit on the front seat becomes a projectile. Ifyou're hit from the side, it could be a can of peas directly aimed at you.

Agreed, which is why I listed them in that order. On re-reading my post, I probably should have said that choice #2 is only marginally safer than having the items unsecured and that choice #3 will stop the warning but is unsafe.

The info that the OP probably wanted, assuming the OP is not just a troll looking to start something along the lines of the DRL thread, was probably how to defeat the chime/warning light. I could tell the OP the super top secret trick, and I wouldn't even have to kill the OP, since the OP would probably, take care of that all on his/her own.

One of my pet peeves is people driving around with stuff unsecured in the vehicle, i.e. adults, children, pets in their laps, stuff on the rear shelf. When my son was around 2 years old, he somehow managed to unbuckle the seat belt securing his car seat to the van's bench seat. A hard stop, not even a panic stop, launched him, still secured to the car seat, face down between the driver and front passenger seat, ejector seat style and knocking the shifter to neutral. Luckily, the side bolsters on the seat kept his face off of the carpet on the center hump and so all we had to do was re-secure the car seat to the bench seat. I learned to really press down on the seat when securing it so that there is more pressure on the latch than the child can overcome, something the police are demonstrating in safety clinics around here now.

Isn't the device under the seat? I'm pretty sure it is on my Corolla ...and it can be disconnected. But I could be wrong as I've never actually tried it. Just a suggestion.

There are two little cables that run by the seat belt plug. I just fused them together and the light is off.

Hey, what are you trying to say? That was a legitimate question I had. It's not my fault some people have to constantly deride each other and have the last word.

I see you have switched newsreaders. I assume you figured it out on your own since you didn't take me up on my offer. Make sure you use OE-Quotefix also, it will clean up the messy quoting of OE very nicely.

Sorry, I thought the OP was lizzy something or other and didn't recognize you as the OP.

Since I couldn't tell if the question was legitimate or not, I provided a safe answer and mentioned the possibility of a troll to cover my behind.

Haven't switched newsreaders, still using OE as I have been since I found this ng.

What is OE-Quotefix? Is there a way to bottom post by default with OE without messing up regular mail replies or is that one of the things people more savvy than me dislike about OE?

You forgot to add: "You'll be safer as well"...;)

I don't think the OP would be safer with choice #3 since whatever is on the front seat is still free to fly.

Think about that 8-pound frozen Easter ham comin' at you when someone T-bones you. Not only would that add the proverbial insult to injury, (ruin dinner as well as your car) that ham would be trying to accelerate to the speed that vehicle that T-boned you was doing at the moment of T-boning. So, the side air bag deploys to cushion the noggin from the exterior impact only to have the noggin hammed from the opposite side. Even if the ham doesn't reach t-bone velocity because of friction and having to exit the bag, I'll bet it would hurt if it beaned you at any speed!

To reduce the likelihood that the OP would get beaned by a flying turkey or ham or even can of soup, I decided to leave off the bit about being safer!

The OP of this thread is lizzy. I am the OP of the DRL thread. I thought you were insinuating I was trolling with the DRL question.

I must really be out to lunch. Perhaps it was someone else who was using a web-based newsreader that I offered to help set up OE for. I'm sorry.

OE-Quotefix is a wonderful add-on tool for Outlook Express that makes newsreading much more manageable. It colors the level of replies so you can seperate responses easily and cleans up the messy quoting of OE (these things >>>>). Check it out.

A flying frozen turkeys is even more dangerous than a frozen ham (unless it is a canned ham) because a loose wing could put your eye out!

I was wondering if the OP of the seat belt warning thread was trolling. I figured that the DRL question was an honest one and I also figured that it would be a looong one!

Even better, put it ALL IN THE TRUNK!!!!!! Except for very small and very light items, that is what I do.

WHY????

Why do idiots disable safety features? Answer: they are idiots.
