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.

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

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.

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

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 ...
