Mindboggling

[woofgang]

I wonder if they are illegal immigrants?

[Sqad]

I bet they hadn't been vaccinated and were on the way to Scarborough for Bank Holiday.........might even have come from Bolton or Blackburn.

[bentaxle]

I don't think there is such a thing as an Illegal Immigrants now Woof , once they step ashore here they very really get deported and if you have a criminal record you seem to be in a even better position to stay

If convicted of dangerous driving he will probably be disqualified.

[davebro]

but that doesn't seem to stop many from continuing to drive!!!

[Hopkirk]

When I was a kid we sometimes used to squeeze extras in, or let some ride unrestrained in the back of an estate car. It was normal then.

//If convicted of dangerous driving he will probably be disqualified.//

He will definitely be disqualified. The offence carries a mandatory disqualification of twelve months minimum, followed by an extended re-test before being allowed to drive as a qualified driver again.

Disgusting disregard of basic safety measures. Old England. Dead and buried.

[Mamyalynne]

I wish I knew what you meant by that remark David, but I'm sure it wouldn't be pleasant.

[maggiebee]

What sheltered lives you must all have led. As a teenager was in a car with 8 others many times. And before you ask, no I'm not an illegal immigrant.

[davebro]

In the mid 60s there were 8000 road deaths annually, in 2013 there were 1700. I think that speaks volumes for the advances (by legislation & otherwise) in road safety.

[youngmafbog]

Was your car uninsured too Maggiebee?

This is a real problem with some communities, they should attach ANPR to all fuel stations, not insured and MOT - no fuel.

I remember back in the mid-70's, we got 14 people into a Ford estate car on the way back from a football match; 13 from the football team plus the driver. Yes, we'd won the match!

//ANPR to all fuel stations, not insured and MOT - no fuel.//

Unintended consequence - a steep rise in fuel thefts?
