I think rear seat belts became compulsory fit in 1987 although quite a few vehicles had them before they were compulsory. If you fit the belts I guess they have to be worn! Fitted them in the back of mine with a full width rock and roll, not an especially difficult job.

Rear seat belts were compulsory equipment from 1986.

From what I've researched, if you have seat belts in the back, the number of passengers in the back is limited to the number of rear seat belts. If you don't have any seat belts in the back, you're restricted by the amount of seats as to how many passengers you can carry in the back.
