Police made a shocking discovery in the back of a ute when they pulled an 18-year-old driver over for a routine breath test on the weekend.
Victoria Police pulled over the Ford Falcon utility at Goughs Bay, about three hours north-east of Melbourne, just before 10am on Sunday.
While police were conducting inquiries, they noticed a large blanket moving in the cargo area of the ute.Under Victoria's road rules, P1 drivers cannot carry more than one peer passenger aged between 16 and 22-years-old unless they have an exemption. The force said the third month was known to have the most collisions in metropolitan and rural areas over the last five years.
Victoria Police conducted Operation Arid to crack down on speeding, distraction, fatigue, seatbelts and unauthorised driving which have all contributed to road trauma. Picture: David Crosling
