The driver and passenger are required to be belted in. For all others it's optional. If you ride the Greyhound or Tour busses you're not required to wear a belt. School busses may now have belts but the kids are not required to wear them.
In my coach, it's my responsibility to ensure my family's safety. I allow my grandkids freedom to roam, play games, sleep, watch TV, go to the bathroom etc. while we are underway....it's why we have the coach.

They know the rules and readily comply. Much like the pilot in an aircraft. If the seat belt light comes on, you put it on. It's a rare time though that I've felt they needed to be constrained inside the rig.....Dennis
California law now requires all occupants of a motorhome to be in belts. No longer optional for those in the back.
