Good on ya!
Coopers rocks......XXXX is for people who only think they like beer.....tastes more like horse piss!

Best bet would be to ring the Transport department technical division as they would know the law in SA.
Can't think it would be a problem though if you are wearing a seat belt.....

Many years ago my father saw someone lean out of a Transit to wave to somebody and fell out! No seat belt.....
The van drove off into the ditch and had to be towed out.....
