Why the heck does Amazon sell seatbelt alarm blockers?
Buy a four-pack today and kill your whole family!There was an obscure bit of car news this week out of India that raised new questions about the kinds of products Amazon stocks.
As part of the debate, India's Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari this week called on Amazon.com to remove from its website listings for metal seatbelt-silencing clips. These clips are inserted in seatbelt slots to silence the alarm that typically keeps pinging when seatbelts are not in use. Presumably because Gadkari raised the issue, these devices must be popular over there, though it's unclear whether Mistry or others in his car were using them.
Oh wait, you're not supposed to use the clips that way? The product chatter states in a bad translation," Seriously, we get it. This is just one of thousands of battlefronts in the never-ending culture war between personal responsibility and government mandates. Without digging through thousands of pages of federal motor vehicle code, it's hard to know whether these clips are illegal, but we do know that seatbelt use is required in every state , and for good reason.
