NH Driver Stopped With Mountain of Items Strapped to Minivan
WMUR ^

This is how not to pack your car for your holiday weekend travel plans.

New Hampshire State Police issued a warning Wednesday about driving with items strapped to a car after a trooper stopped a driver on Interstate 93 with a wide variety of items strapped to it.

Advertisement Thomas McNeil, 57, of Belmont, was driving a white 2003 Honda Odyssey north on I-93 around 6:30 a.m. when Trooper Nicholas Iannone pulled him over to prevent a potential traffic crash.

Furniture, bicycles and boxes were just a few of the items apparently strapped to the roof. A wheeled basket dangled over the back window, and a furniture dolly was hanging against a driver's side window.

State police said the load was secured with electric cords and some rope.

That looks like the car my dad came to California in in the early thirties.

Good grief that amount of stuff requires a small uhaul tow trailer.

Idiot, cheap, or both.

I don’t see a problem either.

I’ve been behind steel haulers on I94 that had a
full load of coils that weren’t secured that well.

I believe that’s a Grateful Dead sticker on his back window. Which might explain a lot.

Based on the decal, I’d say he is on a long, strange trip.

Perhaps not the first bridge. But passage under subsequent bridges would be no problem.

So I wonder if the friend McNeil called from the side of the road to come help him out was the same friend who told him that he was going to get pulled over by the first cop he passed. "Yeah, Joe. I guess you were right."

Oh, a Dead Head (see the sticker). Can’t believe all he got was a warning. If nothing else, a breeze would tip that thing right over. No way any of that was going to remain secure for long. Not with the constant vibrations of the car on the road working on those lines.

So what WOULD be the right way to pack?
