If you are that bad of a driver don't you think it is only fair that your passenger should see what you are going to hit so they can prepare them self's for the crash. Or is that the only way your friends will ride with you.

Cool idea. Modify the passenger door so that it hinges at the back and you got it made. Solve the mirror problem by mounting a mirror all the way forward on your right front fender. This is not an unheard of place to mount a mirror. In the past many cars had mirrors mounted in that area.
I think that the seatbelts and air bags are really non - issues. If you use a lap belt only your passenger shoulld be safe in the event of an accident. The reason is fairly obvious. In the event of an accident your passenger would thrown INTO the seat rather out of it . In addition the seat back would offer a good degree of protection from the windsheild.
Again I am not an original thinker . The US military has rearward facing seats on their aircraft that carry troops for the same reasons that I mentioned.
Good luck on your project.

Yes. This is unsafe, as the seat belts will no longer work correctly. It will also block the driver's view out the passenger window, and possibly the external mirror. And the airbag will probably break the seat and injure the passenger if it goes off. Not a good idea.

you are able to deploy the seat extra upright so as which you have extra area interior the front seats. in simple terms pull the seat removed from the seat bight (the place the motor vehicle seat meets the motor vehicle seat lower back) approximately one inch, then deploy and it would be extra upright. the advice from protection experts and the yank Academy of Pediatrics is to rearface (RF) to the bounds of the seat it particularly is 30-35lbs on all seats bought interior the US. My 3 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous daughter nevertheless rides RF and prefers it over FF. I particularly have risk-free various hyperlinks with great photographs and video clips of what happens to babies’s necks while they're FF in a crash. maximum folk are worried approximately their new child's legs being scrunched or broken in a crash. there is rather no data that shows a new child's legs are in probability and that i might a lot somewhat manage a broken leg, than a broken neck.

The mirror shouldn't be a problem. It probably won't be illegal to turn the seat around, but it may be illegal to have a passenger riding in the seat with it turned around since the seatbelt and/or airbags will not work properly.
If your area requires an inspection, you might have a problem getting the inspection approved. I would check with them first.

It is probably not legal. Most cars have air bags. If you put the front passenger seat backwards then the air bags are useless and the seat belt probably won't work right either.

I think it probably would be because you will not be able to see the mirror on the passenger side. It will obstruct your view.
