Is it illegal to sit on someone's lap in a car?

Not only illegal but stupid. Someone not secured correctly in a car becomes a missile if involved in a crash. They are not controlled and will at the very least injure themselves badly and can inflict severe injuries on others.

Seat belts are not designed for two.

Something I see quite often actually. I wonder if the parents are aware of the potential for the death of their kids? Obviously not.

Hi:

It is illegal to sit on someones lap in a car. First the law is mandatory for people to wear sit belts. You cannot wear a seat belt if you are sitting on someones lap. You are lucky the police did not stop you.

You would get a big fine and so would the driver along with losing points on his licence...........

No matter how much or how little the two people weight, it is illegal to sit on someones lap in a moving car. At least in my state, it is not necessary for people in the backseat to be buckled in, however, there must only be one person for each factory recommended seat.

it really is against the law. Texas newborn passenger protection guidelines require children youthful than 5 years of age and below 36 inches in suitable to experience in an licensed vehicle seat or booster seat. also, Texas regulation states that in the operation of the vehicle, the newborn must be actual secured in a baby passenger protection vehicle seat equipment in accordance to the practise of the producer of the protection seat equipment. children lower than age 17 must be buckled into the vehicle with a seat belt. This regulation replaced on Sept. a million, 2005. the hot regulation higher the age requirement for newborn protection seats from 4 to 5.

It is illegal, also in an accident, it wouldn't be pretty! Either the person on top would be crushed quite badly or you would smash heads together, or the belt wouldn't hold the weight. I think the injuries would be quite bad - I guess that is why it would be illegal.

YES, every passenger must have a harness seat belt!

You can have only one person per seat belt.

It's illegal and also very stupid. If there was an accident that person who go straight through the windscreen.

yes

Not if it's not moving.
