A north London teacher has been banned from driving for 12 months, after breaking the "most people in a Volvo S70" world record by cramming 12 passengers into the red saloon before squeezing behind the wheel.
Abraham Gniwosch, 30, crammed his family into the car so they could enjoy a day out to a farm in Llandudno, North Wales.
He had ten passengers in the back - two women with babies on their laps and six children under the age of 10 half-seated or standing up.
Abraham Gniwosch, of Tottenham, was pulled over on 8 August last year in Llandudno, Conwy by Traffic officer PC Roger Braze. He told Llandudno magistrates he'd stopped the vehicle for "serious dramatic overloading".
The court heard that "an adult male and a boy were sitting in the passenger seat", the back contained "two women with infants on their laps", while the remaining six passengers, all young children "were either sitting or standing in the centre section of the back seat".
Nia Lloyd, prosecuting at Llandudno in North Wales, said none of the 13 were wearing a seat belt and said the Volvo S70 was 'dramatically overloaded'.
He was fined £500 with £415 costs, banned from driving for a year and must take an extended re-test before getting behind the wheel again.
The magistrates did not accede to a prosecution request to confiscate the car.
