Can anybody help me with a couple of questions?
From what year is it compulsory to have a drivers side wing mirror?
From what year were rear seat belts made compulsory?
Cheers
Peter

if you look in the middle of the boot at the rear and 2 largeish nuts have been welded in the back the you need rear seat belts ??
Hi Peter
I searched in Google on 'compulsory rear seat bealts uk' and found this quote
Seatbelts and the law
A decade of advertising preceded the introduction of a new law making the wearing of front seatbelts compulsory in 1982. Soon after the law came into effect there was 90 per cent wearing by car drivers and front seat passengers. These high rates of wearing in the front seats of cars have remained high. In 1991 when it became compulsory for adults to wear seatbelts in the back of a car, there was an immediate increase from 10 per cent to 40 per cent in observed rear seat belt wearing.
Belt up in the back
It became compulsory for adults to wear rear seatbelts in 1991, and since 1994 we've focused on encouraging people to belt up in the back - for everyone's sake.
Our previous seatbelt campaign centred on the very realistic 'Julie' TV advert. It showed a car crash in which the unbelted rear seat passenger is thrown forward into the driver - his mother - killing her.
