A single dad has urged motorists travelling with their loved ones over the holiday period to be extra vigilant after he copped a $410 fine because his daughter leaned over in her car seat.
The NSW man, who goes by divorcedaussiedad on TikTok was shocked to receive the fine in the mail after recently hitting the road with his nine-year-old daughter.
He explained how an unfortunately placed mobile phone detection camera caught the exact moment his daughter's seatbelt slipped from her shoulder for a 'split second' as she leaned over to talk to him.
The dad shared his story in the hope that other motorists will learn from his costly mistake with double demerits currently in place in NSW until January 2.
'I looked at the photos, and fair enough, there she is leaning over,' he explained in the video.'It's come off, and there's nothing I could have done. I've told her safety; She knows the rules. She's just accidentally lent over, and it's got me the fine, and there's no way out of it.'
'So watch your kids this Christmas, watch those seatbelts and if you start to doubt [them], talk to your kids about it.
He joked that his nine-year-old 'unknowingly ruined Christmas'.The NSW father warned other motorists to watch their seatbelt use@divorcedaussiedad My daughter just ruined Christmas ???? Joking but she kinda did accidentally and it all came down to a slipped seatbelt. This is an important PSA for parents driving kids around these holidays. #seatbelt #seatbelts #safety #carsafety #parenting #parentingtips #fine #divorcedaussiedad #ruinedchristmas #grinch #christmas
