An Australian driver has been fined for putting a seatbelt around a crate of beer instead of a five-year-old who was travelling in the car.

 

 

Constable Wayne Burnett said he was "shocked and appalled" to discover the driver's priorities when he pulled the vehicle over on a highway south of Alice Springs.

The 30 cans of beer were buckled in while the child sat on the floor.

"I haven't ever seen something like this before," he said.

"There were four adults in the car, two in the front seat and two in the back seats and in between those adults there was the carton of beer strapped in with the belt," he said.

 

"The child was sitting in the lump in the centre, unrestrained."

The driver was fined 750 dollars (£360) for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle and failing to ensure a child was wearing a seatbelt.

Alice Springs Police Superintendent Sean Parnell also expressed shock at the incident.

"This serves as a timely reminder to all drivers to ensure they wear seat belts and ensure as is their responsibility that all passengers in their vehicle are secured in the appropriate manner," he said in a statement.
