+159 The dinging sound your car makes when you have the door open is annoying and pointless. Obviously if you have your door wide open you know about it, and if not you probably shouldn't be driving in the first place, Amirite?

Unless the door isn't closed properly and you're not aware of it, and has a risk of flying open while you're driving, which could result in your door getting broken off, or possibly even causing a dangerous accident. But yeah, apart from that, what on earth were they thinking when they made it do that.

I don't think the purpose was to say, "Hey, your door is wide open, idiot." More like, "Close your door all the way, idiot."

One time the device which made that sound was broken in our car. My dad didn't notice the door was still open and started to drive away when I was only halfway in the car.

Apart from other things people have mentioned, it's also to remind you not to forget your keys.

It's for blind people, obviously. If they can't see that their door is open, how else would they know?

The least of a blind person's driving worries is having their door open...

Well obviously you've heard it, and if you don't need it then it won't go off and it shouldn't bother you so much
