An overloaded motorcycle with a tall stack of fresh vegetables was spotted cruising along a busy road in Thailand.

Footage shows the two-wheeler carrying a 6ft-tall pile of assorted greens packaged inside plastic bags, as the rider negotiated traffic in the capital Bangkok on May 28.

The motorbike carried dozens of packed tomatoes, potatoes, bok choy, and other leafy veggies which were apparently to be delivered to a market.

Onlooker Kanokphon Thammakhan, who was also riding a motorcycle behind the unidentified delivery man, said the rider appeared skilled.

He said: 'The rider looks very skilled, but I think he should have stopped every now and then to check on his cargo. With a wrong move, he could have hurt himself and others.'

Kanokphon said he and the rider went on the same route until the man sped away and turned to a street.

Thailand has one of the world's worst road safety records. Ministers have set the goal of reducing fatalities from 32.7 deaths per 100,000 people to 12 per 100,000 people by the year 2027.

However, a lack of road safety education in schools, cheap loans for cars, notoriously easy driving tests, police failures to enforce road laws as well as endemic corruption and chronic under-investment in infrastructure hamper the efforts.
