A scooter rider in Kaohsiung is giving Santa Claus a run for his money. The motorist was spotted wobbling through traffic, carrying a gigantic pile of bright pink bags that swayed dangerously from side to side. The towering cargo turned heads and impressed onlookers, but police didn’t find it amusing, and are reviewing CCTV footage to identify the rider. Let’s hear more.

Member of public
Would keep some distance
I would stay away from the scooter. I think doing things like that ultimately is a nuisance to everyone else. If a bag falls off, it could cause an accident and the rider wouldn’t even know.

Member of public
Not impressed
It’s dangerous and it blocks traffic. It’s terrible.

Hsu Cheng-yi
Police officer
Scooters transporting goods must comply with relevant regulations. Violations are punishable with a fine of NT$300 to NT$600 under Article 31, Paragraph 5 of the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act.

But sightings of overloaded scooters are not unique to Kaohsiung. Over in Tainan, a pair of road users was caught carrying a massive joss paper furnace through traffic. The feat was accomplished thanks to the passenger sitting backwards while straddling the furnace between his legs. The scooter swayed from side to side on the road, making everyone else fear for the riders, and for themselves. After all, one moment of imbalance could end up with everyone on the ground.
