Over Loaded – Laos

I stopped to take this picture because I noticed that the driver of the minivan had so many packs on top of the vehicle that he couldn’t get them all tied down. What that indicates is that he’s got way-too-many passengers. I’ve heard that the minivan drivers try to cram as many people a possible into the vehicles because every passenger pays. I’ve also heard that the only way to stop this overloading of passengers from happening is for the passengers to revolt and refuse to go with the driver until another minivan shows up to take the passenger overflow. I’m not real fond of Laotian minivan drivers.
