kobayashiGT Internal Moderator September 26 Share September 26 Source: https://mothership.sg/2024/09/truck-man-can-carry-van/ Some days you're just hanging by your fingertips. A video on social media shows a truck heading down a highway loaded with an unusual and precarious cargo: a whole van. Truckzilla The arrangement appeared to be secured by at least two straps, which appear to be attached to the rear wheels of the van, and the bed of the Isuzu truck. For an extra little hint of safety to the whole affair, a warning "flag" was attached to the passenger van, in the form of a large red plastic bag. The driver of the camera vehicle tailed the van carrying truck for at least 30 seconds, at one point voicing what many people felt when watching it: "Apa ini? Tak malu?" ("What is this? [Do they have] no shame?") Weight limits and warning flags Comments on the the video were scathing, with several suggesting that the police or the Land Transport Authority (LTA) should be alerted, suggesting that the load was illegal. On Reddit, there was significant debate as to what specific law the truck was breaking. In July 2024, Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat was asked by MP Gan Thiam Poh about the conditions mandated by LTA for vehicles transporting "very large and bulky items on public roads" — which probably includes a van. Chee replied that vehicles transporting large and bulky items were subject to regulations. All loads on such vehicles are required to be properly secured. From the hardly-conclusive 30 seconds of footage, the truck did encounter some bumps, and the van moved up and down with those bumps. However, it did not appear in danger of falling off at that particular moment. The other requirement is that if the vehicle's load extended beyond its rear by more than 30cm, it needed a visual warning for other road users in the form of "a clean red flag". While a plastic bag isn't much, it's something. Tall, but not too tall The One Motoring website says another requirement is that vehicles whose height exceeds 4.5m require a police escort. The height of the truck bed and the van did not appear to breach that. So while the setup certainly had a hazardous feeling to it, it remains unclear whether it was actually illegal. One commenter noted that the Isuzu truck had a Y-plate, indicating that it was a heavy goods vehicle (HGV), and thus had a weight limit of about 3,500 kg. One Motoring says that the maximum laden weight of an HGV was 16,000kg, but that is likely dependent on the capability of the vehicle in question. Scrapyard wars One commenter said that the van being carried was, ironically, a Suzuki Carry. They noted the van's age and lack of a licence plate, suggesting that it was destined for scrapping. Another comment on the original video said that the Carry was being carried without an engine, making it more likely that the setup met weight restrictions. What none of the comments explained was how the van was loaded on the truck bed in the first place. But they did take time to scold the driver, saying that by tailing the truck in the way he did, he had put himself in a Final Destination-style caper. ↡ Advertisement 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic September 27 Share September 27 Don't be so harsh. Could be the friendly used car dealer transporting just the body to breaker yard to sell the parts for reuse. Environmentally friendly used car dealer. And the engine already taken out and sold so it's a very light load. All legal one hor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
