Ah well, There goes my street cred, Muhahahahaha. Lets call it a figure of speech, Stated just so I can show how strong I feel about the subject.	Metla (12)
525716	2007-02-19 23:29:00	Can anyone advise if it's legal to carry passenger(s) on the tray of a flat deck ute and/or in a boat being towed on a trailer? Thanks Well, often I have seen passengers carried just this way and without seat belts while the Police stand idly by. I see this at every parade where they have floats. Have a feeling that there would be a speed restriction on the vehicle though.	Sweep (90)

But that was then & this is now... I'm talking about days when not everyone had a car - or two - & the vehicles were usually incapable of speeding, anyway. Nowadays we have many laws "to save us from ourselves." but manage to kill each other on the roads in greater numbers. I'd be amazed if it was legal now - with so much cottonwool added to the rules. (Though you get used to it. I felt slightly naked recently on a minibus trip to North Otago. Kept feeling instinctively for the non-existent seatbelt. Rather amusing, considering some of the transport I've ridden on - rather than in - in the past)	Laura (43)
