Explanation
In California, it is against the law for a person to ride in the back of a pickup truck unless the vehicle is equipped with secured seats and the person is using an approved safety belt. This law is in place to protect individuals from being ejected from the back of a truck during a collision or sudden stop, which can result in serious injury or death.
