As I understand it for an ADULT - if there is no seatbelt then you can’t be fined for not using it.

Where is Alex these days anyway? Not seen a post from him for a long time.
three of in unit last weekend got pulled over by vosa they never commented on the third person

funny you should say that as that was what put me off with a driving school when i was learning, ended up going with a diffrent one in bickerstaffe that was just me and the instructor and they where great.but i would gather that if there is no sufficiant restraint for the passenger it would be illigal , although what is the law on double manning with the passenger asleep on the bunk ■■?
Passenger can sleep on the bunk if he/she wishes, but it can’t count as daily rest when the vehicle is moving.

I quite often travel with one guy on the bunk and another in the passenger seat. Never had a problem with either VOSA or the cops…Thats not say they would act the same way if I was involved in an accident!
