just reading the reports of a crash on the A64 staggered to read the facts on seatbelts in a motorhome conversion ???
Coroner Alison Norton said she would raise the issue with the government.
Under existing laws regarding converted motorhomes, there is no obligation to have seat belts fitted.
The inquest heard it was not possible to say whether Mrs Hunt and her daughter would have survived had they been wearing seats belts.
Concluding the three died from multiple injuries following a road accident, assistant coroner Ms Norton said the evidence showed there were no defects to the motor home and Mr Hunt's driving was not a factor.
She did however say she had "concerns that adults and children over three could travel in the rear of motorhomes without a seatbelt
