And finally… pile up

A Chinese man was fined by traffic police after he loaded his truck with two others as he drove down a motorway.

State broadcaster CCTV reports that officers in Shanxi province pulled the driver over and gave him a ticket for overloading his truck.

He apparently devised the scheme to avoid the charges of transporting three trucks.

However, he had to pay the costs of transporting each vehicle as well as a $30 fine.

CCTV uploaded pictures of the truck stack to its Weibo account, where users have reacted with surprise and glee.

One user called the stack a “a ménage à trucks”.
