[...] S70 saloon.

The court heard how an adult male and a boy were sitting in the passenger
seat.

In the back there were two women with infants on their laps, the other six
passengers, all young children were either sitting or standing in the centre
section of the back seat.

Back in 1981 we managed 9 - admittedly mostly kids - in a 2CV.. from Bacup
Carnival to home, about 3/4 mile

I had about 12 adults once, in a peogot 505 estate (3 rows of seats,
designed for 7). We were looking for a free party at the site of the
newbury bypass protests, the police stopped me, everyone bundled out
and went looking for the party and the police breathalised me. By the
time the police had breathalized me everyone else had worked out the
party had been stopped, so everyone got into the car again in front of
the police and we drove of. Nothing about the number of people was
mentioned.

To this day I am amazed, esp. after this story.

I managed 8 in my Renault 5 once (all adults, if you can call 17 year olds
that). But the clutch slipped after a few hundred metres, so I had to kick
some of them out.

One night at uni I think we got 11 people in a Nova, but that was only on
the driveway. Got a picture somewhere.

We did 9 in a Metro when I was 17 or 18, coming back from a club in
Middlesbrough:

1 in driver's seat
1 in passenger seat
1 in passenger footwell
3 in back seat
1 laid across laps of those in the back seat
2 in boot facing each other (me being one of them)

I remember one time being ferried home from a party in the boot of a
Cavalier saloon. That was a bit tricky as there was no way to see what
was coming, so I got thrown around a bit lol

When I was at college in Accrington years ago, my 17 year old mate
"borrowed" his dad's new Audi 100 saloon, filled it with mates, including
one in the boot, and promptly understeered off a wet roundabout into a thick
stone viaduct in the centre of town. Priceless...

When I were an apprentice there were two car share groups going for the
20 mile drive to work. When one of the cars was dead we all packed into
the other one - 6 or 7 of us.

I remember the first time it happened I ended up in the back, then a
tasty young lady apprentice had to sit sideways across all our laps.
Woohoo.

Turns out even slender young things get really really heavy after a few
miles :-(

Some mates came back from a pub to the rally site 7 up on a Moto Guzzi
California. 3 on the saddle, one on each footplate. Twisty lane, rider
shouted "40, 50, 60, look no hands!!!".

I was sat on the tail light of a Triumph Bonnie, using the chain
adjusters as footrests.

We managed 5 on an old Honda CD185 back in the 70's. Well I say
5......... we started off with 5 but when we got home we found the guy
on the tail light was missing
