Call the police department to negotiate on the ticket cost first, try to get discount for student price:roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

Click it or ticket! DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS

its only illegal if she is alive

Well... I was riding in the back of my friends old dodge in his hatch thing on an airmatress. He got pulled over for not having a seat belt, same for his passenger. However me, the one sitting on the air matress didnt get a ticket haha. Only the front is required for Michigan. I thought that was a awesome moment. I still rub it in.

Texas just recently required passengers in the rear seats to buckle up. I wonder if that includes hatch passengers.

Aside from the legality of it, if you get in any sort of remotely serious accident, they will be seriously hurt. PLUS if they were to die (god forbid) you'd probably be hit with some sort of criminally negligent homicide charge.

hey guys I have to take my 3 kids to soccer practice after work today...is it illegal for them to lay down in the back under the hatch? I'm planning on pulling the sun screen over them for protection

robtrink 04-07-2010 09:35 AM

People like this should not own a Z.... ever

No, but a simple solution would be to mount a motorcycle-style sidecar near one of the rear wheels. The extra weight might make it a bit more tricky to get the car airborne and you can only get on two wheels on one side of the car, so you know, there's a give and take.

Another solution would be to mount one of those sexy X-Cargo units to the roof and modify it with one or two passenger seats. Now, that would be hawt and practical!

I think the sun is all that you are required to protect your passengers from if they are riding in your hatch. Also, it's a good thing you are having them lay down, because if not, then yes, that would be illegal.

nolan 04-07-2010 10:53 AM

You will get a ticket for not using seat-belt.

Geez ... It's a good thing most of you guys didn't grow up in the wide open '70s and '80s. You know I used to ride my bike to school -- without a helmet (gasp!). I preferred to ride in the back of my dad's pickup with the dog. I always crawled to the back of my mom's hatchback -- "the eerie bend" I called it (kidspeak for "the very end"). I'm surprised anyone born before 1985 is still alive ... what with all of our dangerous behaviors ...

Yup. It's even worse than people who drive a Lamborghini to go grocery shopping.

elmz 04-07-2010 12:39 PM

LOL! this is a joke right? Please do no do that! But if you do, I would assume its the same fine as riding without a seat belt or riding in the bed of a pick truck which is illegal in most states.

I guess that means you'd have to buy another car as backup....what a crazy idea.

You could also try a luggage rack for the roof. That's where I put my kids from time to time.

I agree with this lol. I was riding in the back of pickups when i was like 4. Sat in the front seat without a seat belt or child seat. Played with lawn darts, rode bikes with no helmets, climbed trees and jumped out of them. Shot bottle rockets at each other, pretty much everything that people cry about today. Americas gotten to soft lol.

Anyways, i say if its really not that far of a drive and its one thats not really patrolled by cops to just have them sit in each others laps. I've done it before, but i live in a different state and we only had to go about 4 blocks.

Liquid_G 04-07-2010 04:26 PM

jesus christ go rent a nissan versa for a day if you need extra seating room..

btw.. this is quite possibly the worst thread I've ever seen started here.. But there have been a lot of epic ones lately..

earwicker7 04-07-2010 04:38 PM

And go to jail for a long, long time. With no ability to procreate, this is what Darwin had in mind all along..

You think it's great and you're a tough American because you rode in the back of a pickup truck when you were four, or you played with lawn darts? Seriously?

Ever thought that the reason we have all these stupid rules that "made America soft" is because something awful happened with someone rode in the back of a pickup as a kid and the pickup got into an accident, rode a bike with no helmet and flipped over, climbed trees and jumped out of them and broken a leg, shot bottle rockets at each other and suffered an eye injury? You chuckle about it, but I'm sure there's plenty who aren't laughing with you.

For the love of God, this thread needs to be locked already.

Oh, and I'm not picking on your example of lawn darts. Who the hell still plays lawn darts? :rofl2:

So bottle rockets should be outlawed because they can take an eye out ??
Climbing trees should be outlawed because someone could break a leg ??
How about rock climbing? Should it be legal yea or nea?

The world is a dangerous place, you wanna outlaw everything in which someone has or could get hurt?

Driving without seat belts is dumb and dangerous, but I shouldn't have to pay Uncle Sam if I choose to do something dumb or dangerous ... let Darwin sort 'em out!

Where did he mention that those things should be outlawed? I think you are putting words in his mouth.
He simply said that people with common sense will be smart enough to avoid being injured in such activities..

Well he mentioned rules ... and in this context that means laws

"Ever thought that the reason we have all these stupid rules that "made America soft" is because something awful happened with someone rode in the back of a pickup as a kid and the pickup got into an accident, rode a bike with no helmet and flipped over, climbed trees and jumped out of them and broken a leg, shot bottle rockets at each other and suffered an eye injury?

I don't think I'm putting words in his mouth, but I am trying to take his viewpoint to the logical extreme. :stirthepot:

Honestly, there's a seriously disturbing trend to criminalize stupidity.

trent1331 04-07-2010 06:12 PM

I can agree rules (laws) would be reasonable if your activities were putting others in harms way... Honestly if stupidity was illegal this world would be much better, lol.

PapoZalsa 04-07-2010 06:53 PM

We might see a 370Z 2+2 if Nissan get a hold of this thread. :rolleyes:

Damn ... guilty by association :). I'm afraid I can't compete with that guy's hair ...

The best way to transport the 3rd person is as follows:

push the passenger seat right back,

have one of the sisters get into the foot well back facing the dash as if she's going down on the other sister.

The GF sits there with her legs spread or to one side and the sister keeps her head low...

This way if the airbags go off no one dies...

I'm jking... maybe... yes I am... no really but it would work... but I am jking...

No you're not. :ughdance: lol

I've done it. But it was a short trip. Would NOT RECOMMEND it for the love of 370z.
I think I died a little inside when this HAD to be done.

The only time this should even be considered is if both your girlfriend and her of age sister are naked at the same time. Then go for it.

That won't draw extra attention to the fact that there is somebody in the back of a car with a 16 inch wheelbase...lol

texmedic 04-08-2010 08:23 AM

I find it hard to fit someone in the back as well. what with the folding shovel, the duct tape, the bag of lime, the gallon of bleach, and garbage bags...... umm actually never mind.:wtf2:
