WOW! I wonder what that is gonna cost him. Did you let him drive away after the tickets or was it taken apart and towed?

Most cops can keep a straight face through about anything. I have made one or two bust up..but they are a tough audience.

That's hilarious, but the laws must be much different out there from here. I don't think that would break any laws here. His load is secured and the pickup with car is probably still under 10,000 GVW.

I guess I've been around too many guys who call a decent pickup payload 40,000.

How about no red flag for overhanging cargo past 4 feet?

Or how about those standard issue tags only cover 7500# gross on any federal funded highway, west coast or east coast.

:lol: Scrap Metal prices make people do some strange things! Looks like he has straps running to the doors of the truck through the open windows to keep the car from tipping off the back, so he probably had to crawl through the open window to get in and out. :lol:

The hope that he dont have to make a hard stop :lol: Im wondering about the strap going through the cab, I would think with the strap going through the cab he would be on top of the steering wheel because the strap would be across his back. Guess he didnt have a belly getting in the way :hmm:

Problem is under the best condition the strap through the cab could snap and when it does his head will be it's 1st target. That can go bad so fast. He gets wacked in the head and knocked out and carreens across 2 plus lanes of traffic
