Your 25-year-old friend rides in the open bed of your pickup truck to help you move furniture across town. The road is posted at 45 mph. What is the highest speed at which you may drive?
Correct answer: 35 mph.
Why
A person in the bed has no seat belt and no protection in a crash or a sudden stop. A child under 18 may not ride in the bed at any speed, except in a few cases such as farm work, travel between hunting sites during hunting season, or an official parade. The safest place for every passenger is a seat with a belt.
