So How Many Kids Can Fit Into A Mazda Hatchback?

A South African man learned the hard way that you shouldn't try to fit many kids into one car. The unnamed man was stopped near Cape Town. When police took a look at the Mazda hatchback he was driving, they saw seventeen kids sitting or laying down in the car. Three kids were in the front seat with the driver, while the other fourteen were back making the most of the hatchback room with the seats folded.

Police arrested the man for carrying to many people in his car, driving with a suspended license, and his car being found unroadworthy. No word yet if the rumor of Mazda contacting the owner to do a testimonial is true.

buy that man an Econoline!

I wonder why he didn't have a couple more strapped to the front bumper?

Got 10 adults in my Lumina once. The suspension didn't like that much.

Well at least they were in the car and not tied to the roof.

Seriously though, speaking of small cars, I was pretty surprised at how much room was in the back of the Toyota Prius's. I rode in one for the first time a couple of years ago when traveling and the taxis were using them. I would seriously consider getting one of those if the front was that roomy as well.
