Overloading A Car Is Dangerous : Apprehended Overloaded Vehicle In The U.S Versus Nigeria (PHOTOS)
Overloading a car is dangerous and it happens everywhere : Photo of overloaded vehicle in the United States versus Nigeria.
FRSC had earlier warned that overloading attracts a fine of Ten Thousand Naira only (₦10,000.00).
The Agency noted that exceeding a vehicle’s payload capacity will make the vehicle less stable and more difficult to steer.
Last month, an overloaded Honda Ridgeline pickup truck was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol office in Madera for an unsafe load that caused debris to fly off onto the roadway.
Sharing a photo of a flagged down vehicle along with the details of the stop on its official Instagram page, the department wrote :
“Can you guess the reason for the stop? An unsafe load that caused debris to fly off onto the roadway. Always secure your load and ensure you don’t exceed your vehicle’s load capacity.”
“An improperly secured load isn’t just a hazard for you—it’s a danger to everyone on the road. Flying debris can force other drivers to take evasive action, increasing the risk of serious crashes. Unsafe loads can lead to hefty fines—or worse, tragedy. Let’s work together to keep California’s roads safe.”
