If you were driving a car conveying your child and a case of beer, and only had one extra seat belt, which would you choose to buckle up?

Wait, don't answer yet. An Australian driver was recently fined $750 for leaving a 5-year-old boy unrestrained while transporting a case of beer buckled in a seat belt.

The boy was reportedly seated on the floor and the 30-can carton was strapped in between two adults.

The constable who pulled the driver over in the central Australian town of Alice Springs said he was "shocked and appalled" by the finding, and that the incident was the first time he'd seen beer take priority over a child. (Pretty amazing given that he works in Australia.)

As much as we like beer, get the kid buckled up. It would be one thing if they were bottles, but cans?
