The last time a tsunami struck India, there were many deaths. "Do not falow me, I am sunami", says the sign on the tailgate. I have to agree with him. I shall explain why.
Take a look at the spare tyre and you will notice that there is no tread on three fourths of the surface of the tyre. The rest of the tyres may be in a similar state and chances are that the truck will not be able to stop in time, in the case of an emergency. Every vehicle on Indian roads needs a functioning, loud horn; I'm sure this vehicle has one too. The people in front of this truck are quite safe, that's for sure.
Look closer and you will notice that only one brake light functions properly. India has bright sunny skies. A person in a vehicle following this truck may not notice that it is about to plough into something massive; another truck perhaps.
Hence the sign, cautioning you to stay away from it. Because the truck is massive and it almost certainly can't be stopped in time. Needless to say, I didn't take a chance. I overtook this truck and rocketed away like Batman on his Batcycle.
