Tri State will require you to put the seat back in for a road test so be sure you don't go there after you take the seat out. They did that to a driver when I was there after orientation and he had to go home and put his seat back in just for the road test and then go home and take it back out again. Lucky for him he lived in Atlanta. All he had to do was run home and get his seat and run back. I would have told them ,,,,,,,well I think you get the idea.... Of course you probably weren't taking your van to Tri State anyhow ,,,,,you aren't are you??
