Burnout baby on board

POLICE caught a driver performing a burnout in Dandenong South last night – with a passenger in the front seat and an infant in the back.
Frankston Highway Patrol officers saw the Mitsubishi Magna perform the manoeuvre near National Drive about 11.15pm.
They intercepted the car and spoke to a 25-year-old probationary driver about his driving habits.
An inspection of the vehicle uncovered two unroadworthy tyres, a broken engine mount, a number of cracked light covers, no grill and a damaged front bumper.
Police impounded the vehicle and passed on $813 in towing costs to the driver.
They also interviewed him for driving in a dangerous manner, careless driving, improper use of a motor vehicle, using an unroadworthy vehicle and driving without headlights.
He’s expected to be charged on summons at a later date.
