Workers In The Rear Of Vans

Most vans and goods vehicles are designed for the carriage of goods, not passengers, behind the driver.  If you carry workers on improvised seats or unbelted in the back of a van, then you risk breaking more than the law.

In a collision, unbelted passengers can be thrown around with such force that as well as killing themselves they could kill or seriously injure a belted driver or front seat passenger.

Collision Advice Booklet

The Police Service of Northern Ireland is committed to providing the best possible service to the public in relation to the investigation of road collisions.

This booklet has been compiled as part of our ongoing commitment to provide you with the best service possible. It contains useful information about where to go for help and advice and provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
