View Full Version : pick ups
this has nothing what so ever to do with bushcraft but there are a lot of clever people here and i thought i might tap in to the wealth of knolage that is BCUK so....
does any one know what the law is concerning people traveling in the pick-up part of the pick up...??
Yep,
It is illegal and the driver will get at least 3 points and £60 fine.
That what my mate got.
thanks for the info... we were doing the other day and police car happened by.. and that is all he did... on he went gave the driver a wave! we were a little supprised to say the least!

No seatbelts for a start I'm afraid. In fact no seats :yikes:

yes i was just wondering if there was loophole... like isnt there a rule that if a car is not fitted with seat belts then you dont have to were them... also apparently (and i dont know if this is true) it is not actually illigal to have 4 people in the back of a car where there are only 3 seats it does, however, invalidate your insurance!

And therefore illegal because you are driving without insurance ;-) same goes for people in the back of a van or pickup if there are no seats... the number of people insured to be in the vehical is the same as the number of seats.

so would the offence that your mate would have been charged with?

9 inmy peugeot 205 was pushing our luck, but 17 in/on a triumph herald took the trophy (started at 21 but 4 fell off). :o): The police tend to let you off as they can't get you all in a squad car :o):
