[url]http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/news/preschool-teacher-caught-hauling-19-kids-in-minicar--gets-a-timeout.html[/url] [QUOTE=;]. Nuclear physicists. Tornado chasers. Presidential debate room spinners. All have easier jobs trying to handle unpredictable energy than a typical preschool teacher dealing with a throng of four to six-year-olds. It's not the best choice of profession for someone who decides the best way to take a field trip involves packing 19 children into a car the size of a Honda Fit. According to reports from Pretoria, South Africa, teacher Melanie Minnie from the Rietfontein nursery school decided last Wednesday to haul her 31 wards to a mall about a mile away for a celebratory lunch. While such a trip would involve a convoy of minivans at most American preschools, for reasons that no one has yet to unearth, Minnie decided to haul all of the children herself in a Renault Clio, a subcompact five-door hatchback. Mall patrons apparently noticed children tumbling from the Clio like circus clowns and called police, who found three children in Minnie's front seat, 11 in the rear seat and six in the hatch. Minnie admitted to police she was at the tail end of her hauling -- as she had already delivered the 31 kids to the restaurant, and taken back another 12 to the preschool while leaving the last 19 on the restaurant's playground during her shuttling. In the United States, Minnie would have faced multiple charges, several lawsuits and at least one Lifetime movie of the week portrayal for her poor judgment. Instead, local police gave her a traffic citation worth $170 and arranged to have the children toted back in less extreme conditions, noting that she couldn't be punished for the other trips since they weren't witnessed. .[/QUOTE] I just ...........

Pft just another day in mexico. Also that's nothing during basic we managed to cram an entire company with fully packed ruck sacks and m4's into a single school bus. Most disturbing ride of my life.

The mental image of this is fucking hilarious.

You can buy a goddamn nice, loaded G20 conversion van for two or three grand. Sure it's 20+ years old but it's more rolling 5-star hotel room than transportation.

Everyone knows that kits get corrupted when you compress them. :v:

At summer scout camp we rode to church inside [img_thumb]http://all-carz.com/data_images/lada-2104-1500-combi/lada-2104-1500-combi-01.jpg[/img_thumb] in ~11 people aged 15-25. Czech Scouts. Some of the Christianity, none of the giving a fuck.
