Hi Guys
I've been reading about the law with regards to seatbelts and I must admit I am still a little confused.
I understand that the law changed in 2007 so that passengers in the back of the van must wear 3 point seatbelts, I think that goes without saying that it is important, but I keep seeing Vans advertised with side couch seats obviously pre 2007 but what I can't understand is why none of them have been retro fitted with lap belts at the very least.
I was looking at an Autocruise Starblazer 2004 but it has couch seats no belts, and a few others. I must admit that I do like the couch seats but I am concerned with safety.
I would like some other people opinions as to whether they are safe enough to use with, what I can only describe as, loose passengers.
Thanks Guys
Gary
