Police stop driver sitting on a mattress instead of a seat

Police in Queensland, Australia have charged a motorist who was stopped and found to be using a rather unusual substitute for a standard car seat – a rolled up mattress with a tarpaulin on it.

New video footage shows the officer performing the arrest, with the incredulous motorist asking why he's been stopped. As the driver lights a cigarette, the officer replies: "Well, it's got no seat in it, that's the first thing..."
