Needs to have flags on it to show where the load stops. Its a signage issue essentially. Probably could have got him for more and might have but it wasnt reported.
This sort of thing is common in parts of New Zealand (I'm talking about you South Auckland!!). On one of my first trips on the southern motorway in Auckland I saw a car with a double bed on top. No roof racks and no straps, but luckily 3 passengers and a driver with hands to hold it down!! LOL. Within a few weeks of that I saw a young dude standing on the side of the southern motorway minding a queensize mattress. Obviously the result of similar bed shifting attempt gone wrong.
Serious ? Overloaded....Nah
Shamateurs !
Its only a form of a box loaded into the Boot...
Doesn't even look like its a Side by Side Fridge/Freezer with a Ice Maker in it....
Now when you tour Asia on a M/Bike
Then this is Over Loaded !
PS Good Luck and Best Wishes to Andy this Weekend on his Maiden Run at Lake Gairdner
What a way to get to know your Brand New Bike !
The Police probably considered "Unsecured Load" but it actually is "secured" - however poorly.
Nothing beats the Asians for 'overloaded' but this is a pretty good attempt by a local.
Can you imagine driving behind him and having that fall off.
A year ago my Daughter's private car was hit by a folding ladder that fell off a Tradies Ute on the highway.
Legs of the ladder missed her drivers side windscreen by a centimeter (Hit the A pillar and spun over the roof).
Tradie kept going. Ladder ended up beside the road.
Daughter is a Police Officer but was so shell-shocked at the brush with death she made no attempt to pursue.

I recall seeing a car with a mattress on the roof on the ICB motorway near Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane a few years ago, held on by the occupants in the front seats, I was just waiting for the wind to catch the front and flip it back off the roof! Crazy.
