Alarms in cars that go off when someone takes off a seatbelt while the car is in motion, nominally to make things "safer," create dangerous distractions to drivers and absolutely must be eliminated.

If a passenger takes off their seatbelt on the highway, that's a safety risk for the passenger. If the passenger takes off the seatbelt and the car blares an alarm to distract the driver, who cannot disable the alarm, that is a safety risk to everyone in the car.

I don't have words to describe how angry this makes me. Putting people's lives at risk like this is so actively hostile and harmful that someone should do something about it.

@jachiam0 similar the volume of a phone ringing through car speaker shouldn't be as piercingly loud as the volume that music is played at(because the tone of the ring is extremely harsh), it should just have a smart default max volume
