Is it illegal for two people to sit in the same car seat?

Question

Is it illegal for two people to sit in the same car seat?

Answer 1

It is illegally and the fine can be as much as $500.00.

Answer 2

The law is quite clear that there can be no more than 1 person per seatbelt in the vehicle. Thus if you have 4 sealtbelts, you can only have 4 persons.

Answer 3

Not as such

Whereas there is no law limiting the number of occupants in a car, the driver is responsible for ensuring that the vehicle is not overloaded.

But, there IS a legal requirement for every occupant to use either a seatbelt or juvenile seat restraint.

Since car manufacturers only provide one seatbelt per seat, then this prevents two people sitting on the same seat, which answers your question.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yes.  If you are the driver, the second person would be interferring with your driving ability.
