Top heavy Trasporter!
Discussion
I agree it looks a bit odd but It is a rigid 4 wheeler lorry and there is more weight below the imaginary horizontal centre line than above. The car up the front is a smaller car isn't it ? not another Galaxy.
I would not have left it like that but only because I think it looks untidy, I would have no problem driving it from a safety or stability point of view.

Nothing wrong with that. Cars weigh nothing compared to trucks. Used to run artics and drags like that all the time.
Remember the top deck cars have to go on first, it's the only way to load them.
That's well over 3 tonnes on the top deck, and it certainly doesn't look like a particularly heavy truck. That much weight, that high up is guaranteed to have a significant impact on stability. Car transporters fall over pretty easily even when they have cars on the lower deck as well, found one on it's side on the A303 a few months back.Remember the top deck cars have to go on first, it's the only way to load them.

My guess is that if you knew what you were talking about, then you would know the exact weight of the truck.Its max weight will be 18,000 kilos.

i imagine if the VOSA had seen it, they would have pulled him over and his pants down.
For what ? Axle loading are probably ok, the cars are secure. The top deck is not overloaded or exceeding design specifications.It looks daft and is catching more wind the way he has it loaded but he might have just dropped two off and is on the way ten minutes up the road to get two more.
