SEAT BELT ON OR OFF WHEN OFF ROADING VOTE NOW !!
Rossko:
Not sure what this has to do with greenlaning ... the law requires you to wear your seatbelt on a public road. Except when reversing :)
cheers, Ross K

I agree and with uniformed Police officers now seating in as passengers in ordinary looking 4x4's driving around most of the popular lanes in North Wales then I would expect more proscuetions.
Plus its still unwise even at 5 mph a sudden joiet can send you into the windscreen, and don't forget the kids in the back

Okay, this was originally posted in the green laning section and folk were questioning whether or not to wear a seatbelt. :-k
Laning and 'off-roading' are not the same thing. A lane is a public road and as such, all laws of the road apply, therefore seatbelts must be used (with the caveat of age of vehicle etc).
If the thread however, does concern proper 'off-roading' (the legitimate driving off-highway with the land owners permission), then it gets moved to the bar where it ould be more appropriate!
Anything for an easy life! :lol:

I don't know any Motor sport governing body that condones not wearing a seat belt at any speed. Yes I, like most people will 'forget' to fasten my seat belt while gently cruising a Pay n Play site, but generally my advice would be without question - ON AT ALL TIMES. I would also expect that the rules governing the use of licensed pay n play sites require the use of seat belts at all times.

on all the time ,,, [-X
Good example to the kids ;)
