Have you ever rode in the back of a pickup truck? I've done it a few times in my life, but I was never sure if it was legal or illegal. I guess in New Hampshire, they are cool with people riding in the back of a pickup, as it's part of their "Live Free or Die" motto, which is somewhat shared by other states. No laws whatsoever from what I can tell.
But, neighboring states, like Maine for example, do have some rules, the only difference is that you have to at least be 19 years or older in order to legally ride in the back of a pickup. So there are differences in other states, with some likely having fines and other rules against riding in the back of a pickup. Though you'd have to look into your area for the exact rules.
Even though it's legally allowed to ride in the back of a pickup In New Hampshire and many other locations, there is still much concern for the safety of those taking part in it, especially with how much risk there is involved with doing so.
So is it legal, yes, should you do it? Probably not, but that's a choice for you to make. You can read more about these rules here - WOKQ
