Just yesterday I noticed the driver seatbelt of my car is ripping. It isn't badly ripped, but a little.

Should I worry about a slightly ripped driver seatbelt?

Can you get a picture of this part of it as well. I just responded to your other post about the buckle so seeing these things will truly help.
However, a ripped seat belt is an issue that would need to be addressed. Clearly the point of a seat belt is to hold you in place and that is not something that we want to have compromised. Seeing this will help because there are some that can be repaired but let's start with a picture and go from there. Thanks

Awesome. That is exactly why they say pictures are worth a 1,000 words. This is not something that I would replace unless it bothers you. This is considered fraying and is not torn. The actual "structural" part of the belt is still intact. So this is just a visual issue that you can determine if you want to replace it or not.
Let us know if you have other questions.
