THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21: A man who crammed six young children and two adults into his car without seat belts was hit with a $70 fine this morning.

Kenneth Williams, 63, from Paget, admitted to the offence when he appeared in Magistrates' Court.

According to prosecutor Tawana Tannock, there were five children in the back of his Hyundai aged one, two, six, eight and nine, plus an adult.

Meanwhile, an 11-year-old was in the front passenger seat of the vehicle and Williams was driving.

"They were all without any restraint," said Ms Tannock.

Fining Williams, Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner said: "If you've got six children you need to buy two cars. I think the moral of this is when you've got young children in your car the've got to be secured in some way."

He went on to joke: "Get some rope and tie them together."
