Are headrests in cars a legal requirement


Recommended Posts

For people sat in the back, i think.:hihi:

 

If it restricts visiblity for folks in the back then it is a bigger obstruction than the front passengers. It therefore stands to reason that it will restrict visibility in rear view mirror and in particular for someone looking over their shoulder trying to reverse.

Blimey, how big is this headrest? Actually, they are head restraints, they are not there for comfort!

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what they said.

 

They are there to reduce neck injuries in the event of a crash. They should be adjusted to a certain height and in place to stop severe injuries.

 

No legal requirement as far as I know but I would not fancy removing mine. Nobody should be reducing the amount of safety features.
