How Would You Define a "Full Load", according to these photos?

The exaggerating means of Transport in several countries in the world.
Although each vehicle has a load limit allowed, does not mean it can not cause severe damage to some. What would be your thoughts upon the photos of overloads you're about to see. You can not imagine the lots of items and people being loaded dangerously in/on or sidewise of regular vehicles such as: trains, ferries, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, cars and so on, besides, animals also are used abusively as means of transportation, and in which way!!. The following photos speak for themselves and prove it right. They would give you an insight on how overloads look like, mainly in Asia, the subcontinent and in the northern part of Africa. There are many more countries to mention but as space is limited on blog land, so I've just posted a few of them.

Seems the Health and safety regulations may be unknown there, I wonder if they abide by any decree and if the Law enforcement is being applied in those countries?? Does anyone there really care about?. Or it is a lack of instruction or just a let go?? These photos prove the facts however.
It's really amazing, shocking, be it funny but most of all a pity.
Thank you for your read and views. Have a pleasant week.
Lisa.

Wow...... amazing. The one of the man on the bike, carrying those big vases was very odd. Why would delicate items be carried in that manner?

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

MrsJoe, hi lady,

Great reading you on this blog of mine. I have really missed your comments since a while ago. Welcome back MrsJoe and thank you so much for your visit and your nice comments. You are right about the man carrying those beautiful vases, I wonder how could he do it. If an accident happened, he would be terribly injured by the broken pieces for sure. But it seems he is used to carry such delicate items, I guess. Thank you again MrsJoe, hope reading from you again in the future. Kind regards to you and Mr.Joe.
Lisa,

Maggie dear, hi,

Am so glad for your kind visit and you comments. As here in my country, such overloads are never allowed,. We have traffic police, on the roads to control all vehicles all day round and the fine is very high just for a simple offence even. But as for such overload, I have never seen it here. Thank you again Maggie.
I wish you and all of yours, a happy week.
Lisa.

MrsEducator, hi,

What a great pleasure reading you on my above blog. You are warmly welcome, since long I haven't read from you. Thank you so much for your visit and your above wonderful comments. Am pleased that my blog and the photos have pleased you as well. It's really shocking to see all these dangerously overloaded vehicles. I do wonder too how they coukld load such high on their vehicles and also that there is no Law against such stupidity also, endangering human lives and mistreating such poor animals too. Oh well, in such countries, you know, they don't bother for anything I guess. Thanks again MrsEducator, hope reading again from you soon.
Enjoy a peaceful week with all of yours. My kind regards.
Lisa.

Wow amazing photos, Beth!! I've met a few people from Mauritius and of course since I am from a French background, we shared many fond memories of our childhood (my growing up in Quebec & theirs on the beautiful island of Mauritius). Having also spent some time in France, I also noticed the great language similarity to your country.

Beth, the photos depicting fully loaded various river transports posted here on your blog do not tell the whole story of river transport and also railroad systems of the country from where the photos were shot! You should have explained why the river transports and the trains are overloaded. These overloading happen when people travel back home for family reunions during religious festival such as Eid , Puja and Christmas. The authorities reluctantly relax rules so that people can go back home to be with their beloved ones. Perhaps, you would remember what I told you about these three photos long time back. The blog , no doubt is informative and well written too. Thanks for sharing the photos. Take care and stay cheerful always.Regards.

Mary Ann my dear, hi,

It is a great pleasure for me reading you again on my above blog.Thank you Mary, I appreciate it very much. You are so right dear, these people need education in every way. They must understand what is health and safety, how family planning can help them and their country as well and also how much they're allowed to load their vehicles. I believe the faults are from both sides, their Government as well as themselves also. Thank you again Mary Ann, have a pleasant day. My kind regards to you and your family.
Lisa,

Rocketship , my dear friend, hi,

Your visit and your nice comments are very well appreciated on here and thank you so much for them. It's my great pleasure reading you here again. Astonished! we all are Rocketship, For sure I confirm these people must be very talented in loading this height of items on such vehicles, I also wonder how they do it. But the most important of all is eventually their Safety.
Thanks again Rocketship, I wish you a fine day. Kind regards.

Robyn dear Lady, hi,

How nice seeing you again on this blog of mine, as since long I hadn't enjoyed your presence on here. Thank you for your visit and your nice comments. You are as stunned as we all are Robyn, seeing how lives of those people are at such a hazardous situation in those countries. Thanks again dear Lady.
Enjoy a pleasant day. Kind regards.
Lisa.

Robyn, hi again dear,

Am delighted for your second comment on here. As you can notice on the second collage, there's a photo on how that driver carries his load of chickens on his motorcycle and on the 6th collage, the photo of the motorcycle carrying those duckes. This proves how even animals are maltreated even during their last days of life!!. Surely those ducks were for sale and would finish their days in the oven or cooking pans!! Thanks once more Robyn. Kind regards again.

Fascinating photos Lisa. I remember seeing a photo of a subway station I think it might have been in India. There were so many passengers that they had guards on the platform actually paid to use their hands and feet to push and cram all the all the passengers into the train so the doors could close.

Frenchsalsa, ma chere amie, hi,

Vous etes la bienvenue, sur mon blog. I appreciate so much your august visit and your wonderful comment which have very much pleased me, and which are. so meaningful too. I am delighted that you have met my people/my country citizens there in your country. There are lots of them who had since very long time immigrated in Canada and some of my relatives too. Thank you for your pleasing compliments regarding my island as well. You are so right Frenchsalsa, we, Mauritians, do speak fluently French language as well as English and also our general native language which is Creole, which also derives from french language too. La langue francaise est une langue vraiment merveilleuse, tres poetique et sensationelle. Merci encore Frenchsalsa, I hope reading from you again with the same pleasure eventually. Au plaisir de vous lire encore.
Bien a vous et bisous,

Lisa, (Beth),

Looklook hello ,

Looklook, you should realize that it is forcibly impossible for me to tell the whole story or reasons concerning these incredible overloaded transportation of each above country, it wasn't meant for that but only about the overloads. From my collages, they are from several different countries concerned and not yours only. Whether those overloads were for a certain reason or not, they are surely astonishing and pitiful concerning mainly the security of those human beings packed or loaded in such a way, in and on those types of transportation.
Their reasons may be, whether for any feast or just for fun or for a living, whatever it is, the human's life is surely dangerously at stake in such ways. Is it reasonable to allow it in those countries during this new era? However my above blog is only about the overloaded transportation in those countries, which can be seen on Google with name of each country too. I surely didn't invent them and neither did I mention any country by name in particular too. Thanks anyhow for you above comments, I hope it is clear for you now. Kind regards.
Lisa,

Bijou my dear regular reader, hi,

Eventually, it's my great pleasure reading you always on my blogs. Thank you for your input my dear. Yes, you may notice on one of my above collage there is also that sort of train from India, over packed too as well as from different countries where overloads are being practiced without minding the safety and health of those people. Thank you again Bijou, hope to read from you always, I wish you and all of yours a happy day.
Kind regards,
Lisa,
