"A father drove 100 miles towing a small caravan crammed full with ten people - including his own family. Shocked motorists phoned police when they spotted children peering through the curtains of Sameer Mirza's 10ft caravan on the A55 in north Wales".

Yesterday he was banned from driving for two years and fined £900.

As a kid I saw a man reading a newspaper in the back of a caravan driving down Monkstown road but squashing 10 into a caravan. :eek:

Of course it is illegal to tow a caravan with people in it.

From a different angle - there's a woman in my estate in Lucan that drives around nearly blindfolded and I've had to swerve a few times to prevent her crashing into my car. Am I missing something, or is she really ok legally to drive a car like that?

How do you know it's a she? Could be jedward under there!

I'd suspect it would come under the medical requirements, as they're the only thing that specifies what field of vision you need to have (150 degrees horizontal).

Unfortunately I can't see any arm of the state being willing to test a prosecution on that until there's a serious crash caused.
