It's a huge UX fail that, when you forget to put on your seatbelt, your car just plays a generic chime instead of an audio clip of Topol shouting, "For God's sake, strap yourselves down!"

@peterdrake Don't worry, they are working on bigger and better UX fails. I discovered when using a loaner car this month that the computer will just disable the gas pedal until you put your seatbelt on. I'm diligent about wearing mine when I'm on the roads, but making me buckle up to pull forward from the driveway into the garage is excessive.

@trinsec There's usually an icon that lights up, but it can be hard to spot among the dozen or so other icons. It's red, but that wouldn't help the colorblind.

This joke works just as well if a video clip of the line from the movie is played on the screen most cars have nowadays.
