Drivers are only just finding out what the button on their seatbelt is actually for

You either knew about it, or you didn't.

Isn't it funny how we use stuff every day without really knowing the extent of what they do?

Like those buttons on our car dashboards or the hidden features on our smartphones – there's always more to them than we think.

Apple users have been wondering why the iPad doesn't have a calculator or why Apple got rid of the iconic glowing logo on its MacBooks.

In other news, several drivers only recently figured out that there was a hidden key in some car fobs. But it's not like you'd go out of your way to look there unless it was purely accidental or out of curiosity.

Now, a new question has had some drivers scratching their heads - what is the button on the seatbelt for?

Obviously, we're not talking about the button on the buckle where you fasten your seatbelt - the extra button that sits further up on the belt.

A TikToker has cleared up the mystery and put our minds at rest.

'The little button on your seatbelt is to stop the buckle from going past it,' he said.

'So it will always be in the right spot when you go to buckle it up.'

Basically, it stops the annoyance of having to find the seatbelt tongue (or latch plate) every time you hop in your car, especially since it can easily slide around. The button keeps the seatbelt tongue in a comfortable position.

In response to the clip, the TikTok viewers were split in their reactions. Some believed it to be 'common sense' whilst others had no clue until they came across the clip.

One was like: 'Bro everyone knew the seatbelt one.'

Whereas another boldly claimed: 'Everyone knew the seatbelt one.'

But, others weren't shy to express their genuine disbelief.

Replying to another comment, one wrote: 'Not me passing that button so many times.'

Another read: 'Wow that seatbelt one blew my mind, I could have never thought of that,' and another exclaimed: 'Wow! I never knew!!'

TikTok content creator, @epiccfacts, shares many stories and random facts that you probably didn't know on his channel.

In the same TikTok clip, he also describes the little-known uses for certain items around the house. Like, did you know that hole in the middle of your spaghetti spoon is there to measure a single portion of pasta?

There's always someone out there who knows something we don't!
