A ute driver has been hit with a large fine after police deemed the vehicle had been made unstable by the massive load strapped to the top of the vehicle.

Police shared photos of the ute with its frankly massive cargo, which appeared to be swimming pool supplies, strapped precariously to the vehicle's roof. The load appeared to be secured to the ute's front bullbar and rear tray with single straps.

"Drive vehicle with load causing instability, $439 & 3 points," Traffic and Highway Patrol Command wrote in the Facebook post, calling it a #loadfail.

The post has attracted more than 570 reactions, and 400 comments. Commenters on the post were shocked, with some calling the driver a "fool".

"This guy takes the cake," one commenter said.

"Who ever loaded this guy should be fined as well," another said.

Others joked it was "completely fine".

"Yet you get the same fine because apparently you tow ball obstructs your number plate," one commenter complained.

Others joked at the extreme lengths taken by the worker to get such a large load on the ute.

"It was restrained and if the ute rolled over nothing would fall out," one commenter noted. "Give the guy an A for trying."

"Can’t see any issues as it’s a Toyota hilux no dramas," one man joked.

"I can’t see anything wrong here," another said.

"Only need an orange flag on the back and she'd be fine," another said.
