Common Myths About the Seat Belt Button
Let’s clear up a few misconceptions.
Myth 1: It’s Decorative
No—it has a functional purpose.
Myth 2: It’s for Adjustment
No—it doesn’t control length or tension.
Myth 3: It’s Optional
While not critical for safety, it’s an important usability feature.
Why People Only Notice It When It’s Gone
Human brains are wired to notice change, not consistency.
The button only becomes visible when:
- It breaks
- It falls off
- It’s missing
That’s when people suddenly realize how often they relied on it.
A Small Feature with Big Impact
In a world obsessed with big features—touchscreens, cameras, self-driving tech—it’s refreshing to recognize the value of small, thoughtful design.
The seat belt stop button won’t:
- Impress your friends
- Show up in tech reviews
- Be talked about at dealerships
But it will quietly make your life easier every time you get in your car.
