Carpooling Makes Sense

Carpooling Makes SenseCarpooling makes sense, no doubt about it.

Q&A - Old Car - No Seatbelts - Children

Q&A Image
We have a 1956 Ford Victoria, no seatbelts of course. I know it is legal for us to not have seatbelts on, but what about kids who are of the age that they no longer need a booster seat? Can we legally take them out in the car? Our grandsons are always wanting to go for a ride, and we say no as we do not have seat belts. What do you have to say about this?
