Riding their luck

Life, limb and the law apparently make little difference, once it comes to moving goods.
Take these men (here) as an example. They had a truckload of furniture (and more) to move and five men to do it. So they took the expedient approach: load on everything, including the extra men, onto the back.
The result: two men in precarious positions travelling along Warrens, St Michael, a heavily trafficked area.
These “daredevils” were not only risking their lives, but breaking the law, which states all cargo being hauled must be covered. In addition, no human being is supposed to travel on the back of a truck without a permit.
Somehow, it is doubtful these men have such a permit; and even if they did, surely there had to be a better way, even if it meant more than one trip.

Yeah right all you will pay for the extra trip I suppose…..this may be wrong, but a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do.

Comment LinkI have never been able to understand how and why people do such things to endanger their lives. Is it that they think they are invincible?
It reminds me of the scary situation of seeing a minivan packed to capacity with hardly any breathing space and the conductors and other brave guys ride at the edge of the last step by the door on a minivan that is literally flying.
I guess everybody don’t value life (or so it seems).
