Just thought id pop out to Halfords, but half way there 2 blue flashing lights behind me

Asks me why am i not wearing my seat belt?
Even though he could see clearly that i had harnesses on. Then he was going on about how illegal they are n sh!t.

£30 Fine he gave me.

Is this true? "Illegal" or "Not"

What made me laugh slightly was that he was a roundish guy and lyin on his back seat was a pack of dohnuts from asda no joke i neally pissed myself there and then

didnt think that they were....but never know

i think they are legal but have to be upto a certain standard (fia i think)
plus you have to make sure they are bolted down securly

please correct me if i am wrong as i have harneses to

i've had mine in for two years and no problems.

got through two MOT's with them as well.
i've taken my seatbelts out aswell.

but i'm sure they are legal. when i bought mine, i was told that as long as you could undo the buckle with one hand they are ok.

if they pass an mot i would have thought they would have been legal

ask in halfrauds or somewhere like that they should know!

the copper just kept sayin they are racing harnesses arnt they?

i said yes?

He said well this is a road not a race track.

I was sayin it stated clearly on the website tht they are road legal.

And his reply to that was well is that website the police. haha wot a tosser.

But on my ticket he hasnt wrote illegal harnesses or wrong type, he has put not wearing seat belt!!!!

chris youve been had there matey!

yeah youve been had

you will end up paying it unless you have proof you was wearing your harnesses

cant u go to the station and say you were wearing ya harnesses but the policeman ignored u?

question that mate. he is wrong. 99.9% sure of it.

thats stupid. think of the cars that come from the factory with harnesses. they are legal.

im more than sure they are legal but it depends on which ones u have.

His wife probs didnt hav time pack him his lunch this mornin, coz shes bin knockin off window cleaner last nite, so he fought he would take it out on sum1 else.

On the Good side my front smoked lights have just arrived woohoo just need my rear lights get here now

i have the luke 3 point harness, got them off gsmotorsport

same as mine they are road legal, Phone GS motorsports and i think they can give a code to prove they are legal for an MOT.

Im sure the GS motorsports saxo has these harnesses too.

Harnesses are totally legal and he has no power in the law to do you for no having a seat belt on as long as they were done up and fixed to the car correctly. harnesses are illegal though if fixed to the rear seat belt mounts, unless you have found some was in keeping the rear belts and fixing the harnesses...i.e longer fixing bolts. If the rearseats are still in then you have to have working rear belts to pass an MOT.

they are legal exige 240r comes with 4 points as standard. They would fail an MOT if not fixed in correctly and they would fail depending on the buckle. If they have the standard push buckle then game on your legal. If its the aircraft pilot style quick release your sent off the park as they are not legal for road use

was it a traffic cop or a normal plod who pulled you????

hes well done u there mate. I know its only £30 but id take it to court for your pride.
