Just1Voice Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Show how well then enforce the law about people riding in the back of a pick up. Believe it not, there actually IS a law against it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're correct, as they cannot wear seat belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiangmaiRob Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 It beggars belief that the law requires all passengers inside a vehicle to wear a seatbelt but you can pack as many people in the back of a pick up, and it's perfectly acceptable.
