Hi all, can anybody clarify the UK legal situation with regards fitting rear seat belts in a Defender 90? I have just bought a '92 90 and the back is empty. I am planning to install bench seats from Paddock. There are no existing seat belts fitted, and the bench seat does not come with them on. I seem to recall that if belts are not fitted as standard, then they are not compulsory. Does anybody know if this is still true? Also, do lap belts really offer much protection when the person is sittings sideways to the direction of travel? I will probably install rear seatbelts anyway to ensure safety of my passengers, but I am just curious about the legal situation. Is there a particular way that I need to install seatbelts to be OK with the law?
Many thanks for any help with the above, sorry it's a bit longwinded. I've searched the Internet but have not found much categoric advice yet.
