I think the point of LMB's post was that it didn't even do that!

so is it safer to be seated frontways with a belt, sideways without or lying down when your a passenger in a crash?..
there's one to send to mythbusters..
sorry to informe you but you are wrong you need to check regulations before you talkwatching police stop again ( gotta stop watching that, gets me riled up...
they were getting a lift home after a night out..
the police said it was illegal since they didn't have seatbelts on..
so 2 questions sprang to mind from this...
1. How is it illegal when the buses still don't have seatbelts?
2. Aren't the police guilty of the same thing when they put someone in the back of a police van in the crim-cage? they don't make them wear seatblets then..
now typing this a follow on question from number 2 comes to mind..
if it's ok in a police van because there is a cage to stop the crim going through the windshield etc, then does that make it ok for a regular van that has a bulkhead fitted ( solid or mesh.. )?
There is no legal requirement for seatbelts to be fitted in the rear of a van. However, our advice is that the safest way for passengers to travel is in a proper seat with seatbelts fitted and, if you intend to carry children aged 12 years or under, the seatbelt wearing regulations require them to wear a suitable child restraint at all times.As long if the van have saftey seats on back van is no problems and off course to be insured

All passengers in a vehicle (buses excluded) must have a seat that is bolted down.
I used to go around with a band who used a crew bus, and in order to avoid a more stringent MOT we cut 25% of the seats out.
No rear seatbelts required, but the capacity was reduced along with the reduction in seats.
Granted, “in the old days” kids would travel in the back of a builders van and slide around when cornering or braking.
The highlight of my 9 year old self was riding in the back of an estate car
I have gone home from the pub in the back of a Datsun pick up, unlikely now.
same as a motorcycle must have a seat and pillion rests to carry a passenger. Loads of kids get done on field bikes due to no suitable pillion equipment
