Who in their right mind would want to pack into a car with 7 other people with an L-plater driving?! What a massive distraction!!! L-Platers should only have 1 passenger to monitor and assist the driver with clear and concise instructions!
I reckon the driver and the 7 other passengers should have a brain scan done whilst they are in hospital just to check if they actually have one! People can be so fkn stupid sometimes
This is interesting though: "A LEGAL loophole means occupants hurt in a horror smash were not committing an offence by cramming eight people into a sports coupe, the police chief says." .... "Police Commissioner Christine Nixon said so long as all of the car's seat belts were being used, overloading the vehicle with people was not a crime".
So let me get this right, 2 people were most probably in the front passenger seat using the one seatbelt to go around the both of them, and 5 people were in the back seat with a mixture of the 3 rear seatbelts wrapped around them all? bwahahaha... there would have to be a really hot chick half nekkid in the back to get me in there with an L-Plater driving lol....

If i am right in saying. You must have all seat belts used in the vehicle by only 1 body. You can not have 2 people in the one belt. But can have more people in the car than the allocated seatbelts.
If you have a passenger under a certain age, think it was 15 or younger THEY must occupy a seatbelt in that vehicle.
Its something like that.. aslong as all seatbelts are used and age restrictions met, I don't think there is anything legally wrong with it. But, i could be wrong.

Diamonds are forever....
Are you guys sure you can overload a car legally??
when was the last time a taxi said yes to 5 people?

CLuTZ said:
its 2 different things
1. vic roads wont pay out to anyone over the 5 seated rule , which is on the compliance plates etc (thats what we pay rego for)
2. police law is that its not illegal to have more than 5 seated in that same car
its really silly that the vic roads and police laws are different, I guess that everyone that ever got a not wearing a seat belt fine in intitled to get there money back
I think they said that it wouldn't have been illegal had all 8 people been sharing seatbelts. If there were 5 people buckled up, and 3 people who weren't, it would have been illegal... from what i can understand anyway.
The law is as follows, had it explained at a breath test: A car may take as many passengers as it can providing that all availble seatbelts are used(by one person I believe), AND that no one is riding in the cargo area of the car(boot/ute tray).
In my view it is a geat law, I have no problem with it. I would much prefer an overloaded car with a sober driver in control of it than 3 cars on the road with one sober driver and two questionable drivers. I think it does need some taloring so that learner drivers arent allowed to do it but I have no issues with P platers doing it.
Taxis are goverened by their taxi licence(which are only issued for up to the number of availble seatbelts).

If you're that stupid to pack into a car with 6 other people with a learner driver behind the wheel, then no matter what they do to the laws or what measures or legal wording they use is going to stop you still being that stupid.
Too right. Imagine the talking, yelling, laughing, and all other distractions going on that would have baulked the driver. Frikken stupid. I thought there was a law about how many passengers a Learner driver can have in the car though???
