Yeah, how about be safe and just wear the dang thing. Jeezz. You'd probably not even buckle up your kids, then the next thing you know it, you're all dead because of a stupid decision of not wearing the belts...... Just buckle up.

I removed the factory radio and put in a Alpine DVD touch screen. Since doing this my seatbelt bell is at least 3X louder and more annoying. I don't have any kids and would appreciate a fix.

I haven't checked on the Hummer yet, but there used to be a "relay plug" under the dash near the fuses that makes the sound for the seatbelt, door open, keys in the ignition, lights are on, etc... Just pull that out and it should stop.
And yes, my kids get a lecture about wearing thier seatbelt everytime we get in the car. And mine still makes the noise

The gentleman wasn't asking if it was safe or not! He wanted to know if he could shut off that annoying ding and I wouldn't mind knowing either. But since you brought it up in NY it's the law BUT I have a doctors note excusing me, for medical reasons, from wearing my seatbelt so it's not always as it seems. Everyone else wears their seatbelt when in one of my vehicles.

It's called freedom of choice. It may not be a wise choice but it's my choice! Just like wearing a motorcycle helmet! Freedom to choose! God Bless America!

I know this is the exception, but I am actually here today because I was thrown from a vehicle (66 Ford F150)
before it went upside down into a tree and burst into flames. Both the cops and the EMS folks said I would
have been a dead man had I not been ejected.......
I have no little luck with the lottery or Vegas, but I'll take that big luck any day.
Oh yeah, those belts are a pain in the @ss when you have to go through 10 cattle gates on the way
down to the shooting range or when you're loading square bales onto a trailer by yourself.
I keep a male piece of a belt I cut out of a junker in my side cubby just for that reason.
BTW: It is the LAW here in Texas as well. "Click It or Ticket" we say, "Probable Cause" the cops say.

Gunner,
Funny you should mention that. This past December 9, 2007 I rolled my 00' Ford F350 4x4 Ext. Cab Powerstroke Diesel, all 8000 lbs., while pulling my ATV on a landscape trailer. My truck was completely crushed and I was not wearing my seatbelt. If I had been I would have been killed because the roof crushed the seats flat with the dashboard! If I were strapped in surely my neck would have been broken. As it was I ended up laying across the front seat (upside down) and was injured but not seriously and only required surgery on my left shoulder. Only now am I realizing how lucky I was that I wasn't killed. In fact that's why I bought my H3 Alpha, because my truck was totaled.
They say the same thing here in New York, "Click It or Ticket" but never stop anyone for non-compliance unless it's at a roadblock.

I would NEVER advocate NOT wearing your belt, but in this one instance,
for me it worked out well. Glad you came out of your incident relatively
unscathed. All I got was a gash on the top of my head and a banged up
shoulder. As I've gotten older...I've begin wearing my belt more and more.
Guess I didn't want to go from young and dumb to old and stupid....
OR....I could just be cheap. Those damn tickets are expensive ! ! !

I'd like to add my 3 cents....
Seat belts are a good idea. They are "meant" to keep you safer.
However....
No one has the right to tell you how to run your life. Helmet laws or seatbelt laws. It is not going to effect anyone else's life but your own. Yeah, I know... "How about your family?" Again, that is your own life. I personally think those laws are designed ONLY to make MORE money (ticket fines) for the state or towns. I guarentee if you had them put you in jail instead of a fine, the law would go away quick! It's a money maker.
Again, I don't want any of the whining Liberals out there telling me I am going to die a horable death or it will cause global warming, because I am not wearing my seat belt.
I wear my seat belt and helmet because I think it's a good idea for me. I just want the right to take it off if I feel I want to and not have someone out there hunting around to see if they can collect money from me.
I am not going to argue with any of you. Pure and simple. You want to wear your seatbelt? Then wear it. If you don't like the sound of that damn DING, then it is your truck, DISCONNECT IT! The world will not come to an end no matter what some people think.
