Seat belt alarm (rear seats)

[loydex]

Any chance the sound of a seat belt alarm can be disabled? I've noticed the alarm can only be stopped when a passenger fastens a seat belt.

It's a legal requirement for rear passengers to fasten their seat belts
Are you saying that it sounds when there are no passengers at the back?

I wonder if putting something on the back seat (e.g. laptop bag) might fool the car into thinking there's a passenger there?

That's something I'll need to watch out for wrt my dogs - they both get clipped via bungee straps from their harnesses into the seat belt holders, but they tend to wander about on the rear seat so may end up sitting in the spot which doesn't have the seat belt fastened to it.

Is it just the two outer seats that would trigger the alarm?

There are passengers. Are you saying it is a driver's responsibility to make sure passengers do fasten their seat belts at all times?

Adults are responsible for themselves, but children under 14 are the responsibility of the driver.

Seat belts: the law

If your car or other vehicle has seat belts you must use them, with only a few exceptions

I didn't notice the OP mentioning the back seat belts

You would be well advised to or in a crash the rear passengers will travel through the car and may crush you.

I had a passenger who sat in the outer seat but inadvertenly buckled up to the middle seat and the alarm was sounding for no belt done up in outside seat, where the passenger was sitting. ?‍
