North Yorkshire Police find nine people in uninsured car

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng...shire-57261144 (link to video)

Nine people were found in an uninsured and unroadworthy car during a police traffic stop.

The passengers and driver were crammed into a five-seater Skoda Octavia near Malton in North Yorkshire earlier this month.

Despite two doors not opening on the hatchback, there were five passengers on the back seat and two women in the boot.

Police footage showed people crawling out of the car which officers said would have caused "utter carnage" should it have crashed.
Never mind the crash - what if someone broke wind .....

Seriously, though, that is totally irresponsible and, hopefully, criminal .....

Looking at them it's pretty obvious they're not British so our laws don't apply to them.

Damn shame they DIDN'T crash.

Well, at least they don’t have to put the heater on in the car!

Oh and however did the sardines manage to look at their mobile phones?

Re: North Yorkshire Police find nine people in uninsured car

The occupants all seemed to have large shopping bags full of stuff too amazing how much they crammed into the car.
I am a assuming the car was confiscated if it was 'uninsured and unroadworthy' if not it should have been.

Re: North Yorkshire Police find nine people in uninsured car

That reminds me of students in the past, trying to beat the record, for as many they could cram in a Mini. Do you think Skoda will use this overload, as a plus in their adverts!??

One rarely sees that many people in an insured car.

Yes, they do look like escapees from the third world.

I'm surprised that the police even dared to stop them.

Re: North Yorkshire Police find nine people in uninsured car

The car will be impounded and probably crushed after 7 days if it was found to be unroadworthy. The driver will be charged with driving without insurance, probably not having an MoT for the car, plus anything else the rozzers can dream up. Every one of the 7 people would have to arrange their own return home from where they were stopped. PC Plod wouldn't lift a finger to help them with that - not that I care.
