This motorist pretended to pull a truck along a motorway as part of an elaborate ploy to cover the vehicle's number plate so it wouldn't be picked up by CCTV cameras.

Footage captured in Kunming, Yunnan Province, shows a man appearing to pull the large truck along the highway.

The motorist was worried about being caught on camera driving with cargo that was over the road's size and height limit. So he stood in front of the vehicle's number plate in an attempt to not be picked up by authorities.

According to relevant laws and regulations, the driver was penalized for covering the license plate and occupying the emergency lane. He was fined 200 yuan, and 9 points were deducted from his driver's license. Additionally, both the driver and the man who covered the license plate were given a warning.

On September 9, on a highway in Kunming, Yunnan, a large truck driver, worried about being caught by surveillance cameras due to the vehicle's oversized and overheight cargo, came up with a plan with another man in the truck to cover the license plate manually.

Surveillance footage shows the truck moving slowly in the slow lane, while a man stands in front of the truck, appearing to be pulling it with great effort, like a superhuman.

Later, the Yunnan traffic police reviewed the surveillance video and questioned the individuals involved, quickly uncovering the truth. It turned out that the man was not actually pulling the truck by hand; instead, he was helping the driver by walking in front of the vehicle and covering the license plate to create the illusion of "pulling the truck by hand."

According to relevant laws and regulations, the driver was penalized for covering the license plate and occupying the emergency lane. He was fined 200 yuan, and 9 points were deducted from his driver's license. Additionally, both the driver and the man who covered the license plate were given a warning and reminded to follow traffic laws to ensure road safety.
