If you thought California roads couldn’t get any weirder, wait until you hear about this Honda Ridgeline truck.

The California Highway Patrol in Madera County stopped a Ridgeline that was loaded so high it looked like a moving Christmas yard sale.

It was piled with a mountain of stuff, including, somewhat bizarrely, a Christmas tree, a Santa doll, and a gold star to top it off.

But what made it less funny was the debris flying off onto the road.

The overloaded truck wasn’t tied down properly either – there were no visible straps or ropes.

Instead of using a tarp or renting a trailer, the driver stacked everything on the Honda Ridgeline.

The CHP shared a picture of the chaotic truck on Facebook, garnering massive attention.

Speaking of bizarre road trips, motorists are using all sorts of bizarre techniques.

Earlier, we saw a man using the inflatable Grinch as his car companion to evade the lane rules.

And remember when Nebraska police stopped a modified Ford that had a full-grown bull in the passenger seat?

The CHP also used this incident to issue a warning to other drivers.

They explained that overloaded vehicles are harder to control and can cause serious problems if debris flies off.

Drivers might swerve to avoid the mess, which could lead to crashes.

It’s not clear if the driver got a ticket or had to unload the truck, but one thing is for certain: this Ridgeline was pushed way beyond its limits.

People were quick to react to the bizarre incident, sharing their thoughts.

One user commented, ‘I’m impressed with the fact he was able to get all that on the truck. Kudos. Lol’.

Another simply wrote, ‘Stupidity has no boundaries’.

Let’s just say, take precautions on the roads and leave your giant loads to be handled by legit trailors.
