I see all kinds of things like that on the roads here in the Philippines. Usually a bike or motorbike with 4 or 5 people, along with a 1 year old on the gas tank. There are very few accidents though, everyone is paying attention.
I travel internationally quite a bit and amazed at some of the things I see on the road. Very common to see an entire family on a moped with an toddler stuffed between mom and dad son hanging on to mom on the back and sister on the tank
