Why would you do the Navigation override? To get rid of the lockouts so you don't have to pay attention to the road?

Why don't I ever hear the repeating, obnoxious beeping noises?

What's the version of your Nav DVD? Also, how big is the LOADING.KWI file on your DVD (to the byte, please)?

I hate seatbelt alarms! I don't wear a seatbelt when I stop at a fast food restaurant, ATM, toll booth, 100 yard trips, etc. etc.!

I remember reading a study showing that most accidents occur during short trips. So much for not wearing a seatbelt during short trips, not to mention being illegal.

YEAH! WHAT HE SAID. I-L-L-E-G-A-L !!!

You go get'em, Tiger.

Also required by law in most states: Using your signal before changing lanes... Obeying the speed limit... Turning into the lane closest to you when turning on to a multi-lane street... Disposing of your cigarette in your ash tray instead of out the window... Not causing grid-lock (stopping in the middle of an intersection)... Not driving around with only your parking lights on...

The list goes on and on. Thank god we have the Forum Safety Police (F.S.P.) to keep us all safe & secure.

Default Seatbelt Alarms are for Wimps!

How do you get bank cards or $$$ out of your wallet with your seatbelt on? If it's illegal to move my car in my driveway then I'll take the chance! I admit that I only wear my seatbelt 90%+ of the time but I'm still OK despite having a few accidents before cars had seatbelts installed. I agree everybody should wear seatbelts!

Should cars have alarms installed to warn you when you exceed the speed limit or when you take one of your hands off the steering wheel? How about getting a shock if you touch any buttons or ***** while driving or better yet every driver should be required to wear a helmet and a neck brace when the car is in motion. Just kidding. I just hate seatbelt alarms!
