Whaaaat? Courtesy OPP.

You often see this kind of picture from southeast Asia where motorcyclists seem to be magicians when it comes to loading their bikes, but much more rare here with our stricter laws.

This was tweeted out by OPP Huntsville.

"Are you kidding!! Think about the risk to others before you hit the road. Great work by OPP in Huntsville!"

By the way, the law states as the driver, you are responsible for making sure the cargo is evenly balanced and properly secured against shifting. Any cargo that breaks loose or shifts could cause a collision or vehicle rollover. All loads carried on a motor vehicle or trailer must be bound, covered or otherwise securely fastened or loaded such that no portion of the load can fall off the vehicle or trailer.

See the MTO cargo securement regulations here.
