Missile Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have a question for anyone who has a camper van or travelled in one. I am planning on going on a small road trip to Cornwall with a few mate's. My dad has recently bought an old camper van 1985 Fiat somthing or other. Myself driving and the passenger have seatbelts fitted as standard to the seats etc. Anyway, the question is... Can i have passengers in the back? There are no seat belts back there at all. I have had a good look on the net with no luck finding an answer. Closest i got was, http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071029064011AAuTSmi Which is not a great deal of help. Anyone have any idea's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 simple answer is no..... all passenger must wear belts! although i have travelled to newquay with many friends in a vw camper just duck down when driving past fuzz.. Then again actually got found in the back of a transit on the way home from 24 le mans bike racing, and they didnt bat an eyelid after i showed them my passport!

AlanM Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thought if their were no belts fitted you aren't required to wear them - depending on age of camper van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's very much, Plus thanks to everyone else who has posted. This one certainly does not have belts fitted in the rear at all. I was thinking two in the front and three in the back. (Does wrapping rope round peoples waists count as a seat belt ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
