This astonishing array of images shows exactly what vehicles can be capable of with a bit of imagination and determination.

It is fair to say that some of the images seen below may be accurately described as health and safety nightmares, but in the vast majority of the cases it is difficult not to admire the sheer ambition of the people behind the loading, not to mention those wheels that are bearing the load.

 

Motorbike with ducks

A guy carrying duck loads of birds on his motorbike. Incredi-bill.

 

Truck full of bananas

Jamie Oliver out on the road for his latest healthy eating campaign.

 

Motorbike with egg crates

A display of eggsellent balance.

 

Pick up truck overloaded

How those front wheels are staying on the floor I do not know. The majority of the load must be empty plastic bottles or something relatively light. I'm not convinced that it is within the maximum Nissan Navara payload of just over 1000kg though.

 

Train covered in people

Judging by the train track on the floor we are assuming that there's a train somewhere in amongst all these people, who - it has to be said - look delighted with their accomplishment. Presumably it is a British train and they have all dodged an extortionate fare.

 

Pick up truck moving house

This guy was adament that he was not going to pay a removal company. Very, very, Impressive effort.

 

Motorbike full of cartons

There is no way you can accuse this man of having no bottle - he's not even wearing a helmet.

 

Bull on a motorbike

I have no words for this bullish behaviour.

 

A lorry in a haystack

As the famous saying goes: "It's like trying to find a lorry in a haystack." Absolutely amazing. There is also the added bonus that this overloaded lorry looks exactly like maverick Columbian footballer, Valderrama.

 

Bricks on push bike

This undeniably brilliant photo shows a collection of bricks that have learnt how to ride a bike. Wonders never cease.

 

People carrier overloaded truck

You've heard of a people carrier. This new model is known as the 'Village Carrier' (bicycle rack is an optional extra).

 

Polystyrene wagon

Polystyrene recycling.

 

Water bottles recycling

Water bottle recycling cycling.

 

Recycling overloaded trike

And one more recycling image for good measure. The mind boggles as to how they built this masterpiece.

 

Petrol tank on pick up truck

Heavy load at rear. And a huge liquid tank on the back of a pick up truck.

 

Car crushed under weight of load

A standard camping trip with the family. We've all been there.

 

Truck overloaded with boxes

Kim Kardashian's weekly make up delivery.

 

Huge jugs on motorbike

This man - like many others - loves huge jugs.

 

Whole family on motorbike

There's eight people on this motorbike. Eight. One of them is a baby, who appears to be pointing out the absurd juxtaposition of their motorbike next to a 7 seater car with one person in it.

 

Russian doll lorries

And last but not least... here's a flatbed lorry on a flatbed lorry, with a flatbed lorry on top, that has a car in it.
