Drivers in Nantou’s Mingjian Township were met with a frightening sight recently, when a flatbed truck roared by with six scooters stacked up on the back, seemingly without anything tying them down. People were afraid to drive behind it for fear that one would fall off. Police said that the driver broke the law, and could be fined up to NT$18,000.

The driver is absolutely right—those scooters are stacked too high!

On this slick road in Nantou’s Mingjian Township, motorists noticed a vehicle carting what seemed to be at least six scooters crammed onto the truck bed. They bounced around with every bump, scaring the drivers behind it. If one were to fall off, it could cause a massive accident.

The bikes on the back of this truck were stacked up three high. No wonder people were calling it scooter Jenga.

They didn’t even tie them down properly, yet managed to stack them up so none of them fell off. Even though it’s pretty dangerous, I couldn’t look away.

The loading height for small vehicles cannot exceed 2.85m from the ground. Furthermore, according to Article 29 of the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act, carrying an oversized load can incur a fine of up to NT$18,000.

The driver was surely angling to cut corners by stacking the scooters up that high, but now they’re facing a fine of up to NT$18,000. The police said they’d set up a checkpoint along that section of road to pull over any suspect vehicles, and would issue fines on the spot.
