Am I required to have seat belts in an RV?
While driving, only seats intended for that purpose may be used.
How many seats are there in an RV?
The registration certificate of a newer motorhome shows how many seats it has. These seats are equipped with seat belts. In that case, the rule is: seats with belts may be used while driving, other seats may not.
In older motorhomes, the number of seats is not shown on the registration certificate. There, all seats that have seat belts may be used while driving. Older motorhomes may have seats that do not have seat belts but are intended for use while driving. This was not mandatory at the time.
Seat belt requirement in an RV
Whether and where seat belts must be present depends on the age of a motorhome, and in the case of a motorhome, whether it is based on a passenger car or a commercial vehicle. You can view a chart on the government's site to see if you are allowed to use a seat while driving.
Abroad
The rules abroad may differ from those in the Netherlands. Starting point: where there must be a seat belt in a car, the Dutch requirements apply. For the use of seat belts, the foreign regulations then apply.
