As you mentioned the most serious problem besides the legal one is the safety aspect,you really wouldn't want to know what would happen in a high speed collision!

Correct:
> CD30 Driving without due care and attention, 3-9 points + Fine
> CU50 Causing or likely to cause danger by reason of load or passengers 3 points + Fine
The girl and/or driver (dependant upon age), could face a charge for the failure to wear a seat belt (up to 500 pounds per person carried unlawfully, if they are minors I believe).
I would also assume insurance would be void if an accident occurred, so this would be taken in to account too.
If these are children being carried, they will throw the book at the driver, as they are responsible for their safety.
