Car share scheme fails to impress police - Dynamic Dave
A car has been seized after police found as many as 10 people crammed into it in Newbury town centre.

I managed to cram 8 people (including myself) in a Mk1 Astra once, not including the boot space, I hasten to add.

I'm sure someone can better that score though. Any takers?

Surely it's safer than being the sole occupant in a car?

Better than any air bag, in fact. No way you could be thrown about if you were crammed in as tightly as possible, same principle as an egg box.

Robin - you'd only need the tiniest gap between people and it would be just as lethal.

Ok then, squeeze a few more in.

I'm sure I could fit a slim young lady on my lap if it was a safety issue.

Fifteen plus beer barrel in a Maxi. The driver was stone cold sober. Party had run out of beer just before closing time!

"I'm sure I could fit a slim young lady on my lap if it was a safety issue."

How safe would she be, and safe from what?
