I know this has got nothing to do with spain but i couldnt stop laughing when i saw them all getting out of the uninsured skoda, especially the two in the boot
The guardia civil would have torn a strip off them , they probably got a slap on the wrist off the UK police

Judging by the clothing, looked like Romanians.

As you say, a slap on the wrist.
They should take the car snd crush it at the very least. Uninsured and you cannot tax a car without insurance either.

And no MOT P , besides the threadbare tyres , with the 8 passengers and driver crammed in the car, it was a disaster waiting to happen , they could have caused a multiple pileup

That should read nine people plus luggage, and they weren't very small either. Disgraceful. !!

I once saw a family of 4 on a small motorcycle in Thailand and when i told a work colleague he showed me a picture of a family on another small motorcycle where the mother had a baby in a bucket and 1 of the kids was holding a dog in total 5 people and 1 dog.

I forgot about the luggage B
I have seen that myself when i went there many years ago aos, and you see it in you tube videos etc, its the norm over there and in other asian countries, you just dont expect to see this kind of thing in the UK
The driver should be banned for life for putting all the passengers at risk and endangering the lives of other motorists
Saying that the passengers must have known they were also in the wrong

Frightening, especially for the kids B
No crash helmets either and i highly doubt any insurance
They would be better suited performing in a circus
I bet if you hired a bike there and were just riding alone everyone would stare at you in disbelief

I couldn't believe it when I saw it and I wonder what the accident statistics are like.
Surprisingly low I bet. :)

Yes i did read somewhere that despite there being numerous bodies on these vehicles there was a low accident ratio
Its the same when you see them weaving in and out of a mass of traffic and missing each other by inches, i suppose they get used to driving that way
