Police warn of perils of driving with paint kept on back seat of cars

An unfortunate driver and his passengers in Australia found themselves whitewashed when a 25-litre bucket of paint which had been resting on the backseat of their car caused a bit of a mess following a minor shunt in a car park.

Chifley LAC (Local Area Commands) police in New South Wales posted this photo on its Facebook page with a safety reminder to always put paint, or any other not secure items, in the boot and not on the back seat.
