Stopping the seatbelt gongs

I keep getting myself into quite the tizz when I stop to open my gate and then drive through.

Unless the door is closed and seatbelt fastened, the car won't allow me to move. I have to take off the handbrake myself which I'm not in the habit of doing.

And everytime I open the door it beeps and gongs and all sorts.

Is there any way to tell the car that I'm not stupid and I know the engine is running, door is open etc.?

I assume this is one of the reasons LR is a bit over-cautious with this

I agree on the inconvenience this causes during low speed maneuvering, backing up trailers etc. 110 SE D200 MY21 Tasman blue

With my Discovery Sport (from 2015) I never had an issue with the dialing gear. If I left it in drive mode and opened the door an alarmsound was issued. No problem at all.
I really miss it on my new Defender I'm not yet used to the gear stick (after 200 km

You could probably tape the door sensor to fool it into thinking it’s still closed, but that’ll stop it working as desired such as interior lights too.
I’m not sure how the door switch system works on those. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
