Unless the driver has upgraded equipment. Again.... if it aint stock, it has to conform to the [minimum requirements of the] other section in the rulebook.
Quote:[i]11.4.8 Seatbelts and Harnesses... Any harness or any restraint system, other than factory stock, shall conform to CCR section #15.5, in all respects* ...
Why does what the driver has matter? No where in the rules does it say that? It just says IF it's upgraded, it has to conform. It doesn't say IF the driver is upgraded the passenger has to be upgraded. I see the point you're trying to make... that modifying the driver "resets" the minimum of what's required but I don't agree with that interpretation. You could argue ambiguity either way. Now what's practiced versus what's written is two different things... but we're just talking about written rules.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
