Traffic violation in a Class A
Not sure where to post this so here goes.
I was pulled over in NY state for a traffic violation -- coasted down a hill and was stopped for speeding. The officer came up to the side window and after asking for the necessary documentation asked if there was anyone else in the motor home. I said yes and pointed to my partner who was sitting in the bucket seat behind the passenger seat.
She had recently undergone major foot surgery and had turned the passenger seat around so she could rest her foot on it. She had on her factory seat belt but the officer said it was illegal. No explanation from him.
Does this mean that you cannot have passengers belted in on the 2nd passenger seat and/or sofa or dinette where seat belts are provided?
He made sure she moved up to the front seat before he allowed me to move.
The speeding violation was not out of reach but this county added a $93 surcharge on the fine. That upset me. And with the Canadian dollar at $.75 US it sure added up.
