I don't give a XXXX (about the kid)

An Australian motorist was fined A$750 (about £400 in British money) for allowing a child to go unseatbelted in his car. The offence would have been bad enough in itself, but was compounded by him using the seat belt for strapping in his beer.

Police pulled the car over to find two adults in the back, separated by a 30 tinny pack of beer, with the child sitting on the floor.

When he was given the on-the-spot fine, police reported the driver claimed he "didn't know anything about it".

Next time he might offer the sound legal defence of "That's the swally!".
