Total insanity what some people consider safe.

Looks quite well done!

Obviously not safe though

Not really, the back wheels require a pivot in the boot so under cornering the lateral forces will be destroying the inside of the boot, possibly worse.

I already gathered causing damage wasn't too high on their priorities.

Considering the back is so weighed down, it would take him ages to stop because the front wheels wouldn't really do much. must have taken a lot of effort to actually hook that up though.

The car with van in/on the back is actually being towed by the car in front. Safe to say both the towed vehicles are scrap and he cares little about what effect it has on the boot of the car

Boggles the mind of what some people believe is safe for other road users. A+ for effort though.

Not sure what to say, did make me chuckle but it's a pretty dangerous contraption. Sort of thing you would see in a 3rd world country or Russia

A single ratchet strap, haha. Also, no lights or numberplate shown. Surely they'd have to know they'd get stopped for that....

Driver is probably east European or a travelling man - you see things like that on the tube. :rolleyes:

What goes on in some people minds ?

I know the Circle Line is bad, but didn't realise it had gotten to the stage of having trucks and cars on it?!

Just noticed that he cut the roof out of his car to put stuff in it.

There's a hell of a lot of cars towing caravans, that have rear suspension that seems completely unsuitable for the job... where the rear tyres are almost completely up in the arches. I'm sure that's not safe.
