Guest TL Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Is there any problem or legal issues with passengers hanging around and moving around in back while driving? I'm sure there are safety issues (no seat belts and all) but can any states give a ticket for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufbooth Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I believe it varies from state to state, all depends on what their seat belt laws state. Some states give a pass to trucks and RVs and some do not. Dennis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tlampros2000 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Dennis - Thanks. I bought a 78 Chinook Newport Sept 1 and we're having a blast with it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D J Dolphin 86 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Anyone care to elaborate...? Anyone know a source to find a state by state seat belt law list? and if there is no seat belt law does that mean you can be up and standing? or lying down sleeping? can you be in the back cooking while driving? either gas stove or an electric burner run off a power inverter? can you use the bathroom or shower while driving?

I am trying to find out the rules I'm not going to be pulled over on the side of the highway explaining myself that I did not know the rules I'm sure that I'm not the first to want to know this. for example in NH there is no seatbelt law so does that mean I can live free or die in the back of my MH walking around (when appropriate and necessesary) using the bathroom etc.. or do they just mean I don't have to be belted because I read that in CA they allow passengers in the back of motor homes and busses to be exempt from the seatbelt laws...... so who knows what other states have similar because according to: http://www.iihs.org/laws/SafetyBeltUse.aspx CA is primary enforcement state as far as safety belt laws go anyone.. anyone.. bueler? bueler? anyone been pulled over for being up in the motorcoach? anyone not been pulled over for being up and in the motor coach?
