That shouldn't just be a ticket - that should be revocation of license.

Some people are just too stupid to be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. In my native Atlanta a few years ago, some idiot bought himself a new dryer at Home Depot, loaded it up without tying it down properly, and promptly killed an innocent person in a car behind him when it blew out the back of his pickup a couple of miles down I-285.

When I'm on the highway, I will do ANYTHING to get away from a vehicle with a tied-down load. It's not always easy to gauge how well the job was done, and there is no way of knowing what kind of condition the straps, ropes, chains etc. are in.

I can't see how those machines would wash very well, installed like that.

Yes but...

The car may just be parked and they are going to come back and secure the load before driving anywhere. As a motorcyclist I'm all too aware of the dangers of shed loads. One day I was on my bike behind a lorry and a car cylinder head suddenly appeared from between its back wheels. Fortunately I just missed it.

...this is not a completely uncommon site.  Like others I steer clear of these guys. 

 

And for those who know me well, you know that wasn't me.  Those would be Kitchen Aid dishwashers, the car would be a convertible and would be freshly detailed.  There would be a long flowing scarf with some designer logo coming from the drivers side.

Ken, don't you see the car has no license plate!

 

;-)

 

I think this guy needs to get a pickup truck or a minivan!

OK, I'm shocked that no one has told us what makes/models the machines are yet! Smile

Down here if you are transporting a washer, dryer or even a refrigerator people never tie that stuff down when transporting via a pickup truck. They just lob the stuff into the bed and away they go!

It's pretty often that you hear of this stuff falling out onto the highway and injuring someone.

They just either don't think or don't care. I can't quite figure out which it is.

That almost looks like QSD_DAN's car after a evening of stripping machines at our shop junk pile for every part concieveable and then PACKING it for the trip home. The only thing missing was a Maytag washer tied to the front fender like some deranged hunting trophy. Come to think of it, he almost did... LOL!

And I don't want any flak, Dan, since I still have the pics to prove it... ROFLMAO!

While I have done some insane loading/tie down/cramming, I dont think I have ever went quite that far.

But to be fair, at various times I have managed to haul a copper easy wringer washer on its side in the backseat of my Nissan, hauled a kitchen table strapped upside down to the top of my Camaro with the chairs in the back seat and trunk, hauled a full size mattress and box springs with headboard and footboard strapped to the top of my Crown Vic, and the ultimate, the time I put the top down on my Lebaron convertible, and managed to strap down and haul home a sofa.

OK, looking back, the sofa was a bit insane, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

That poor Prizm, those GE's in the trunk are 1/3 the weight of the car. Anyone else think this is a weird way to dismantle a GE machine? I don't taking one apart like that ever occurred to me...

Have you noticed the strange roof rack?! With that thing of the roof and the cracked taillights (the owner seems to have stuck pieces from other taillight lenses to block a hole in them, I think this person probably does this on a regular basis... And with the actual economic situation, maybe we'll have to get used to see more people doing such things to survive.

 

A friend of mine who does that to survive recently had to trade his old pickup truck for a tired minivan with a homemade trailer to save some fuel... Next step is probably getting a compact car like that.
