Ditto, but in reverse order: I put on my seat belt right after the car is starting to "move" and I'm starting my trip (w/o any traffic around as yet).

No sooner am I already pulling it towards my waist and about to click it when it starts blaring: "Danger! Danger! You're up to 12mph by now!!!".

I'm 100% for seat belt use and don't mind any blinking warning light as as constant reminder (in case you don't get a chance to do it right away). But that dinging is just outright annoying!
