A driver has been fined after allowing his passengers to sit unrestrained on the back-seat headrest of a convertible while travelling down a busy Tauranga expressway.
A motorist caught the act on camera on Wednesday and notified police, who issued the driver with an infringement offence notice for permitting a person to ride in a dangerous position.
What may seem to be a harmless bit of fun can turn to tragedy very quickly.
The incident came a week after a photo of a man car surfing was published in the Bay of Plenty Times, police condemning his "stupid" behaviour.
Police were still trying to obtain a date for the car surfing offence from witnesses before they laid charges.
