Legal or not?

In what states is it legal to ride in the back of a pickup truck without a top attached?

Texas is the only state I know of that you can ride in the back of a truck without a top and without seatbelt restraints, and the person riding in the open bed must be over 18 years of age.

Damn, that sucks, thanks though...

Its not legal in most states since the back doesn't have seatbelts. Exceptions are usually given to farm work though.

Take a guess which state NEVER enforces that law

i have a pick-up and have my buddies ride in there all the time, i even had leos pass and not give me any trouble.

i know Florida doesn't enforce this law AT ALL, my cousins live in FL and cops don't seem to give a **** about anything

They give a crap about driving 65 on a six-lane. Just not about driving 55 on a two-lane with six people in your pickup bed.

Here in Washington the law states that if all seatbelts are used in the truck then additional people may seat back up against the sides of the bed....
