Man gets car ban after 4 children found in boot

LONDON (AP) - A British court has banned a man from driving for a year after he was caught traveling with four children in the boot of his car.

Britain's Press Association news agency said on Thursday that police found a total of 11 people in Zoltan Lakatos' Audi A4 when they stopped him in the English city of Leicester last year.

One passenger was in the driver's seat, three adults and two children were squeezed into the back, and officers discovered four more children in the trunk.

The news agency says Lakatos was convicted of endangering his passengers and of driving without insurance earlier this week at Leicester Magistrates' Court. He also was fined 1,325 pounds (S$2,611). The agency said the 38-year-old was not in court for the ruling.
