A traffic stop is supposed to prevent accidents, but many spin out of control fast.

One Amsterdam police officer tried to lend a helping hand to a passing van, but the driver’s accusations wouldn’t let him get a word in — so the officer let him go.

Little did the driver know, his cargo was staging a escape behind him with each mile he drove.

You’ll want to read on for this one!

Never mind

Long time ago, somewhere in the 90s, I was working in the Amsterdam police force.

We saw a Ford Transit with the backdoor not properly closed.

This van was quite a sight to behold.

It looked like they were moving a house.

Every corner they took, the backdoor would swing open, and something fell out — a chair, a lamp, and such.

So, we stopped the van, and I tried to address the driver.

But the driver didn’t make it easy.

Before I could say anything, the driver started shouting at me.

He was not of Dutch origin and accused me of discriminating against him… bla bla bla.

I waited until he took a breath and calmly said it was all right.

I told him to just keep driving.

So off he went.

When I got back to our car, my colleague asked me what I told him.

I said, “Nothing. Couldn’t get a word in.”

And so did all his furniture.

When the Ford took off, a table fell out.

Oh my…

A chair, a lamp, a table — Oh my!

What did Reddit have to say?

Hindsight is probably gonna be 20-20 on this one.

This commenter envisions bringing a little humor to the situation.

Looks like it won’t be long before this driver has another run-in with the cops.

This commenter has a pun ready to go.

The driver is sure to learn his lesson eventually. Hopefully it’s before his van is totally empty.

It turns out this driver’s ego was even more fragile than his cargo.
