bheinen74 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I think the laws state if the car came with them (meaning 85 or older Brat, not 86/87) the VIN door jamb plate says its a 4 passenger vehicle, and there is not a single thing saying you can't ride back there, with seatbelts buckled of course. You cannot legally put jumpseats in the back of a 86/87 and have that go as being legal, cause those the door jamb will say 2 passenger vehicle.

Qman Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 is it legal to have people ride in the back of a brat if it has seats and seatbelts in Oregon. Rear passenger laws differ from state to state. You will need to check local ordinances to be sure. I know they banned rear passengers in a lot of states. With or without seats and belts. Too many injuries and deaths.

wentz912 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thermal, I know on my side of the river (WA side) the laws say that as long as all seat belts are full, people can ride in the back of pickup type vehicles without a seat belt as long as they are 16 or older. I'll try to find the WRC for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Legality is one thing. But safe is another. I wouldn't have anyone riding in the back legal or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobs97c5 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Legality is one thing. But safe is another. I wouldn't have anyone riding in the back legal or not. Still safer than a motorcycle IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Depends on whether or not you like people puking in the back of your brat. Im pretty sure they are grandfathered in as long as they left the factory with them in. Whether or not you get hassled by local police is another matter.

Twitch de la Brat Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Depends on whether or not you like people puking in the back of your brat. "Vomit Comet Type: BRAT" anyone? I think I have a new nickname for my BRAT... Twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorton822 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Riding in the back of a Brat makes you vomit??? Not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 It's grandfathered because they are factory equipment. No officer could make a citation stick in court (that's not to say they won't try) unless you had been warned about it previously and they could prove it. So as long as you haven't been pulled over yet - go for it. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
