    Seating Arrangement

    I'm driving a series L/R truck cab,registered to carry 3 persons.(driver + 2 passengers). If I install genuine L/R rear seats ,am I allowed to carry my 2 passengers in the back instead of in the cab?

    NB: Pre seatbelt laws.

    Thank you W.

    Can't answer your question about Qld regs, however I can tell you that sideways seated rear passengers run a significantly greater risk of fatal neck injuries from minor accidents than forward or rearward facing passengers.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Do you intend to completely remove the passenger & centre seat ? Otherwise you end up with 5 seats and the vehicle would have to be registered for 5 persons.

    Even so I wouldn't think you could get away with that because the original seating was across the front.
    If you install seats (genuine L/R or not) in the rear I think you would need an engineers certificate before they can be used.

    I replaced the centre seat,which is quite useless because of the overdrive lever, with a cubby box.
