All for fish and chips
On Saturday, October 15, at approximately 5:30 p.m., the Wellington Highway Patrol allegedly observed a Ford Ranger traveling at 75 kilometers per hour in a 60 km/h zone.
Police say that when the vehicle was intercepted, it was being driven by a 28-year-old female driver who was not accompanied by a fully licensed driver, and was carrying six children aged between one and 12.
Police said there were no child seats in the vehicle and the one-year-old was being held by only another child.
“The female driver didn’t think it was that bad as she was only taking them to the shops to buy fish and chips (and then) home,” police said on social media.
“All the parents of the children have been notified and have come to collect the children. The vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $995 and the driver will be summoned to court to face a number of charges,” police said in a Facebook post.
