The law on passengers not seated on a car seat
In 2017 the National Road Traffic Regulations amended Regulation 250, restricting drivers to carry passenger in any part of the car that is not a designated seat.
This also prohibits bakkie drivers from carrying passengers at the back of their vans. The amendment was created partnership with Arrive Alive, aiming to reduce accidents and deaths on our roads.
