The 18-year-old man was pulled over in Botany Bay, Sydney, after he was spotted driving at 105km/hr in an 80km/hr zone at 1.40am on Sunday morning.

But things got worse when highway patrol pulled the young driver over, spotting a full carload of youths – including a boy hiding face-down in the boot. 

The vehicle contained six people including the driver, one of which was discovered lying down in the boot of the car
