There is an old line that I discovered elsewhere which applies to the law
"Your millage may vary".. Some states are rather strict about people in trailers or the bed of a pick up.. Others are not..
Side note and story: I recall the screams when Michigan passed a seat belt and child restraint laws (no won't go into that)
The story One parent wrote about how much they hated the child seat law.. How it caused all sorts of problems cause with that big child seat in the truck there was not enough room for the entire family and so on and so forth.
Till the truck ran off the road and the infant in the child seat.. NOT EVEN A BRUISE..
Another story: Child restraint law at this point but no Seat belt: Rollover.. Multiple dead. Baby, in child seat, covered in blood.. ALL BELONGING TO ADULTS. Baby not even scratched. (That one I dispatched troopers to).
Another story: (Still no seat belt law) 4 people in car. 3 laughed at 4th who buckled up.. Car crashed.> The one with the buckled belt got a split lip and 3 funerals to attend. (She was my daughter's babysitter).
