An Australian motorist has been fined for putting a seatbelt around a case of beer instead of a five-year-old passenger.
Police who pulled over the man’s sedan on the Ross highway near the outback town of Alice Springs found the child sitting unrestrained in the back of the vehicle with the driver and other adult passengers apparently unconcerned for the child’s safety.
Constable Wayne Burnett said he was “shocked and appalled” by the incident…
Four adults were in the car, two in the front seat and two in the back, said Constable Burnett. The carton of beer, which contained 30 bottles, was strapped in between the two adults in the back.
“The child was sitting in the lump in the centre, unrestrained,” the police officer added.
Appalled? Yes.
Shocked? I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened up the road in my own neighborhood.
Oh my God, she had a nipplectomy!
Was at least good beer?
Was it at least good beer?
What the hell happened to her nipples! It was like the scene in The Matrix where Reeve’s has no mouth. I ‘spect John this was your way of staying somewhat non-pornographic, but for me it was in fact more jaw dropping.. Just in a freak-a-zoid way 🙂
You know, it is amazing any of us over the age of 35 lives through childhood. I remember taking naps on the rear deck in a car back when cars had large enough areas for that.
Har! This isn’t the only time:

Hey the beer can’t protect itself. The kid could at least tuck and roll. Plus he’s has a soft outer shell that can take a few bounces. You drop a glass bottle of beer and it may break. Drop a kid and it may scream and bleed, but wounds heal. Can’t put beer back in a broken bottle.
my dad got pulled over a few years back and the cop want to give him a ticket for not wearing a seat belt. My dad point out the the car only had a lap belt which he had on. It was an old Pontiac (1962 I think) which never had should straps. That car also had a nice steel dashboard let alone Airbags.
Heck, I had you should have seen the car seat for my nephew that I had to put in my mom’s mini-van the other day. It had all kinds of straps to tie it down to anchor points on the mini-van didn’t even have.
I was going to comment on her lack of nips but it looks like we covered that.
Who wants to listen to the seat belt buzzer all the way home.
Now Cops will fine the poor guy and the kid may have to go without food.
More Nanny state news.
Women don’t have nipples in Australia – didn’t you know that?
We don’t drink fosters either.
