Old M-B Sprinter pulled over for speeding, then cops noticed 'squished' front suspension.
Seems the guy was hauling 5000 cans of beer...Polish lager @ 14.5% Alc.

Had helper springs in rear, but pallet was loaded too far forward.
In addition to speeding he was charged with being 3300 lbs. overweight.
Nitwits are not limited to U.S. as this was in jolly ol' England.

Now to google up some of that 14.5% beer.   :rolleyes:

I know a guy who used to fly bootleg beer into remote villages in Alaska...

He said it was iffy sometimes with balancing the weight!

And oh yeah, just to remind us of how important beer is:
