Fuddy as muck:
Using a land rover 2a pick up with rear bench seats and carrying rear passengers. Is it illegal or due to the age of the vehicle is it something that you can get away with, like not having seat belts?

edy:
i think that it is fine as long as you fit seatbelts

tomarse:
I think its a bit dodgy having it as a pickup unless you fit a proper seat with belts. Fit a ragtop and you will be fine.

You dont need rear seat belts pre 70 something IIRC.

My car is a 1980 and it doesnt have seatbelts in the back and it has passed 4 or 5 mots now in my ownership.

edy:
mine is 83, plus i have a rag top, i should be ok fitting bench seats in that, i didnt no you did not need seatbelts though, might fit them still just incase

mike142sl:
The law on seat belts is summarised here http://www.rospa.com/roadsafety/advice/motorvehicles/seatbelt_law.htm#Table

Being on the right side of the law is only part of the equasion though ? Think carefully about the journey you are taking.
