I always wear my seatbelt period.

Now days I'm having a hard time parking my car around my house due to construction. When I'm parking "only" the system doesn't make a sound at all, no matter how long I put the seatbelt off.

I always take my seatbelt off when I need to park my car to look around freely. I can drive in the lot without seatbelt and without the warning sound for 10 mins that I've done. However, I stayed under 10~15 mph speed.

I don't think the seatbelt alarm goes off anytime. When you are really just "moving your car" it doesn't really go off unless you go higher speed. Just put your seatbelt on man. First, that's the law and it wouldn't hurt anyone by not listening to the warning sound.

My friends always foget to wear their seatbelt when they are in my car. What I say to them is "Put your seatbelt on, or this car will make the annoying sound forever" and once they hear it, they put it on whenever I say it.

The car is designed that way and nothing will harm you in anyway just by listening to it. If you really don't want it, there areways to disable it, but I would not tell you how or recommend it becuase it's not necessary.

If you are driving 25 mph just moving your car, wear the seatbelt. That speed is pretty fast to be just "moving the car". If you friend is there, tell him to wear it, heck he's in YOUR car. The way I experienced it, the system doesn't have any flaw to it
