    This happened on Monday, but I just got pictures to prove it today. The troopers got him on a main highway, with no license and registration, and apparently with no brain.
    Enjoy!

    "He was cited for driving an overloaded vehicle? Seriously? If he had the car that was on the back of his truck on either a tow dolly or a car trailer, he wouldn't have been cited for an overloaded vehicle, so what's the difference if he has it in the back of his truck?????????"

    Must be related to the guy.

    I got to wonder after looking the picture over real well. I'm wondering if the guy was going to junk the truck also; being that he bent the snot out of the bed and no license and registration??? Just a thought; Lot of damage for $400-500. in junk.:confused:

    Haven't been able to verify it, but something about a raised ramp out of a barn and just landing it there.

    I kinda wondered that too. I want to know how they ended up towing it away, because there is no way they let him drive the rest of the way to the scrap yard.

    Hey, he was getting it there. What about the road? I am sure he wasn't going down the highway, looks like a back road. Really, this guy isn't doing anything wrong except what lawmakers have deemed illegal. If he was going slow and the car was chained down, he would have been fine. Chaser vehicle would have been a good idea, and the weight is pretty far back, but hey, this what you are forced to do to make a buck now a days.

    No, this was definitely a major highway. Rt. 17 (soon to be I86). 4 lane, 65 MPH speed limit (though 70 is average). Normally I would agree with you with going slow, but he was doing at least close to speed limit if not average. In that case, that could have been big trouble if it came off.

    It's "deemed illegal" because it's F-ing stupid.
