Police clarify official rules on truck rides

Comments on social media about an incident in which a child was injured after falling off the back of a truck has prompted debate about the time-honoured practice of passengers riding on truck trays. The Cook Islands Police Service says it's OK, as long as passengers are sitting on the fl oor tray, like these happy youngsters. Passengers standing behind the cab should hold on to something secure, says Police Inspector John Strickland.18010307
