I wish the beep would work for rear seat passengers as well. I'm being serious now.

That's what I have fire extinguishers under both of my front seats and a little emergency hammer with a seatbelt cutter in reach of the drivers seat.
When I arrive at an accident scene I will be able to help, no matter what happened. And I hope I never have to use any of those items. Not on my car, not on any other car...

Fire extinguishers -> Good idea, I was thinking about it. Can you please help where to buy and where exactly put it? How to fix it underneath the comfort seats? Thanks very much.

I think wearing your seatbelt when you want to is a personal choice. I know for a fact smoking will kill you, and I have therefore stopped smoking a couple of years back. But I will never lecture anyone that smokes about the health risks involved with it. It's their personal choice whether they want to smoke or not. It should be the same with wearing your seatbelt.
Oh and by the way, I lost a friend ten years back who burned to death after his car collided with a taxi and caught fire. The seatbelt mechanism got jammed, trapping him in the vehicle...

I am very sorry to hear about your friend, but that is the excpetion. The fact of the matter is seatbelts save lives. That is not debatable.
