Been out for a while, but have a doozy to return to the forum with.
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!

view my photo album if they don't show. make take a minute to load though.
"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.
LOL....wow

Haven't been able to verify it, but something about a raised ramp out of a barn and just landing it there.Originally Posted by poundigity24

Maybe a forklift lifted and held it on the truck until they could strap it on.

I gotta give the guy some credit...That took some head scratch'in to get that to stay in there like that.
|
Wow! I'll even say it backwards. Wow!
|
WOW. How.......how....HOW? I've been scratching my head, and....i dont know...i've been known for my redneck intuition when it comes to loadin my truck..BUT WOW.

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:

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.
|
|
I think I got it;;; He drove the Taurus off a loading dock into the bed of the truck.. Now what kind of prize did I win???LOL
I have to give a BIG thank you to Saroro for the pics, it's the best laugh I've had in a long time,,, Mike

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.

I am quite familiar with 17. I live in Jamestown. Well, then I agree it was not the right road, but there are many back roads, he could have chosen a better route. Wonder where he was trying to take it? If I am loaded down good, I don't take 17. I am usually coming from Westfield though.
