I know this is the onion but I'm honestly glad for companies like Subaru building in a way to disable the seatbelt chime. When I'm slow rolling a rocky dirt road at 10mph with no one else on it, I feel dumb wearing a seatbelt. Or having the windows up for that matter.
Praise be to Subaru for saving you from such a cruel fate. No one should have to feel dumb wearing a seatbelt!
Coincidentally, anyone feeling dumb for wearing a seatbelt most probably IS dumb (but not for wearing a seatbelt).
How are you so insecure that a seatbelt makes you feel dumb?
It's not about being insecure. I'm just old enough to remember riding in old trucks and cars that didn't even have seatbelts. They make sense for most situations and I wear my seatbelt, but there are sometimes situations where it just feels like unnecessary compliance.
Like sitting at a red light at 2am with no one around for miles
