Safety - how do we enforce it?

Road safety isn't only about rash driving, seat-belts or using cellphones. A thing like this (pic on left) can easily turn into that (pic on right): Isn't it? What if you were riding or driving behind the blue truck (above) when its load came crashing down on the road? Not that there are no rules regarding carrying loads. Can't extend your vehicle's length by a certain percentage, and you got to tie a red cloth or light at the end of your extended load. If you notice the first picture, there is a cloth tied to a metal rod, but 1) it is black more than red, and 2) isn't tied at the very end. So now, what can a commoner do? Mail these pics to DCP Traffic? Or tell a cop as soon as you spot one? I tried the second method right after taking the first picture. The cop wasn't sure if this was either illegal or dangerous. I couldn't convince him, but I did appreciate the fact that he took the time to indulge in a civilized debate! You know, they are all usually nice if you are nice to them, but the thing is, they have a habit of "ignoring" small offences. And you and me know very well that ignoring one is encouraging three.
