Madrid, Spain – A striking video from the Policía Municipal de Madrid shows a scooter navigating a quiet street while carrying a massive white mattress. A girl rides behind the driver, helping to balance the oversized load. Both are dressed casually and are without protective gear.

The footage, posted on March 8, 2026, highlights the dangers of carrying large cargo on motorcycles. Authorities say such practices increase the risk of accidents, even on short urban routes.

As part of a road safety campaign, the Policía Municipal reminds riders to wear certified helmets, protective clothing, gloves, boots, and bright or fluorescent colors, and to drive defensively. The video serves as a cautionary example of how everyday cargo transport can quickly become hazardous.
