I guess like the other one, she probably just didn't notice them.

These kids need to be stolen from their incompetent parents.

A common occurrence ... wonder if she had a license?

10 kids?

Bloody Catholics   >:(

Another waste of space.

I was hitch-hiking out from Lightning Ridge to Coffs, via Wilcania. A Van full of a local 'mob' family pull up, slide open their door and invite me in. There was at least 14 in the back and 3 in the front seat. Everyone was double-seated with the smallest on the laps of the bigger teens. A 16 year old teen got up to let me sit there and she sat instantly on my lap without a concern in the world. I was somewhat over-awed by the whole moment of all these kids having a laugh, full of humor and somewhat interested in what I had to say. I just sat there with the young teen on my lap. She seemed lost in thought - so I deemed it best not disturb her in any way and got lost myself in a conversation about cars with some others.

Such was I grateful for the lift that I always 'pay my way' - afterall, something 'better' was in Australia before Uber was even thought of.

Not enough information, Gordon. You didn't say what race she was.

Did they offer you a sniff of their petrol?

I get your point......

Senior Constable First Class Ivan Petrovic slammed the driver's actions.

"How someone can knowingly drive a vehicle in which their passengers are unrestrained is beyond me," he said.

Perhaps someone should introduce him to a vehicle called a "bus"  :D ;D

fined $5040   and 30 demerit points..


she is probably laughing all the way to the ..............

Buses now have seat belts ... even hotel & club courtesy buses.

Some do, but the vast majority operating as public transport don't. You don't even have to have a seat.

Do you have stats on public transport without seat belts? I don't but it would be nice to know the death and injury toll of not having them before I take a side.

Was she a Mexican?
