A teacher has been found guilty of dangerous driving after being stopped by police for having 13 people travelling in his Volvo car. Abraham Gniwosch, from Tottenham, north London, pleaded not guilty to dangerous driving in Llandudno, Conwy, on 8 August last year.
He was given a 12 month driving ban and ordered to pay over £900 in a fine and costs by Llandudno magistrates.
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. None of the passengers was wearing a seatbelt.
The defendant denied his action was dangerous saying he had been driving sensibly at no more than 20 mph. "I'm not a quick driver, I'm a slow driver," he said. "I've been silly in what I've done, but not dangerous."
