No, it's not some wacky ad for Renault Clio but a REAL nursery teacher in South Africa, who jammed 19 little ones into her car for a school trip.
According to an article in the UK's Sun, it looks unlikely that any of the kids contorted in the car are belted in. When teacher Melanie Minnie was pulled over there had to be at least three kiddos in the front seat, ten in the back and allegedly, six in the trunk! This, on the back of our recent post on car safety.
The kids, who attend Rietfontein nursery school, in Gauteng, were on their way to a local burger bar when the cops pulled the car over after a passerby tipped them off.
“[The children] were excited at first but after a while they started to get a more worried and cried,” said onlooker Mr van Heerden.
Incredibly this was the second car load Ms Minnie had dropped off at the burger joint. The first time, a dozen kids had piled into Clio.
“This is the first time we went on an outing - and the last time,” said Ms Minnie—who was reportedly fined a pathetic $150 for endangering all those lives—in South Africa’s Afrikaans language Beeld newspaper.
