A man who crammed six young children and two adults into his car without seat belts was hit with a $70 fine.

Kenneth Williams, 63, from Paget, admitted to the offence when he appeared in Magistrates' Court.

According to prosecutor Tawana Tannock Williams was stopped by Police as he drove along Front Street around 5.40 p.m. on August 14.

She said there were five children in the back of his Hyundai aged one, two, six, eight and nine plus an adult.

Meanwhile, an 11-year-old was in the front passenger seat of the vehicle and Williams was driving.

"They were all without any restraint," said Ms Tannock.

Fining Williams, Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner said: "If you've got six children you need to buy two cars. I think the moral of this is when you've got young children in your car they've got to be secured in some way."

He went on to joke: "Get some rope and tie them together."

The law states that all children must be adequately secured when riding in a car, van or truck. All children under 12 years old must be secured in the back seat of the vehicle by a seat belt and /or an age-appropriate car seat.

The driver and front seat passenger must be secured by a seat belt while driving in the vehicle. Adult passengers, aged 18 years and over, travelling in the back seat of the vehicle do not have to be secured by a seat belt.
