Eight tourists were fined after being filmed hanging dangerously out of moving cars on a holiday island popular with Brits.

The passengers were spotted sitting on the window sills with their upper bodies outside the rental vehicles.

Police launched an operation after coming across the footage on social media.

They managed to track down the foreign tourists just as they were preparing to fly home, as reported by Need To Know.

The two drivers were each fined €500 (£432) for reckless driving, with six points deducted from their licences.

The six passengers were issued fines of €200 (£173) each for not wearing seatbelts and failing to adopt the correct position inside the cars.

The reckless scenes were filmed on the TF-24 road in Tenerife’s Teide National Park, in the Spanish Canary Islands.

Spain’s Civil Guard said in a statement: “This type of behaviour poses a serious risk to road safety.”

The force did not disclose the nationalities of the visitors.

A spokesperson for the Association for the Study of Spinal Cord Injury (AESLEME) commented: “What a lack of awareness!

“Not only because of the harm they could do to themselves, but also for the danger they could pose to an innocent third party who has nothing to do with their risky behaviour.”
