    I just want to know how to stop the beep. I drive from my sons school to home and its like 2 miles and its like 25 mph I'm not worried about a crash.

    Unfortunately, there are people (adults even) who make decisions on limited data input and think they know better than the people who are making decisions using the complete set of input data. We are at the point where the less able expect the authorities to protect them from themselves, and bureaucracy responds in kind.

    Perhaps we should leave Darwin to sort out.

    And THAT is exactly the problem.
    You should be VERY worried about a crash........any time you are moving outside of your driveway.
    Something like 80% of accidents happen within 5 miles of home.
    And a crash at 25 mph can be fatal without a restraint in place......especially since you don't know the size or speed of the other vehicle that might be involved.
    Do you require your son to buckle up for that same trip ?
    If not, I feel really sorry for him.
    Done.

    Yeah it's unbelievable that this even needs to be debated.

    Just for giggles, when you're watching a movie or show: take note of how many people are shown NOT wearing seatbelts. As often as not they're smoking too.

    I'm new and where can I find how to disable the backup beep? A search from here didn't find anything.

    I have disabled the beep about four times -- the latest last week. It still took me three tries to get it to work.
