The snake was removed unharmed and released to bushland.

How common are snakes found in cars??? This is also very common incident.

The funniest and I love our Brothers In Blue dearly especially if I can stirr them up hehehe, as they would happerly do to me, so we dont let em get that edge, any way, one humid Saturday morning in 1994, cruising the streets down town after attending a domestic, in the rural outskirts of town, relaxing the top 20 tunes of the week, the police radio turn down low. Have I set the mood yet. As first described this 8ft maybe 10ft serpent appeared and nestle his head and body into the lap of one of the 2 burly police officiers, the car came to an immediate stop, commando style rolls were performed and guns drawn on the offending vehicle an urgent call for assistance was despatch on their trusty handheld. On arrival at the siege, varying descriptions of the offender were given which had just about describe every Australian snake. We caught the offender with little resistance, and as it turn out, it was the pet that escaped which cause the domestic, that they attended to earlier that day. Oh almost forgot the snake was harmless and 4 ft long heheheh.

I shouldnt rib people about their fear of these creatures, and as Ive stated many times before we have some of the worlds most deadly creatures and it is easy to get it wrong in the heat of the moment.
