Man I’m tired of people making up stories about being sued for being overweight.
Look, if you are at fault in an accident, you’re at fault already. It doesn’t matter WHY you hit someone it only matters THAT you hit them.
Stop with the stories until you can cite even one single example.
The law cares what amount of weight you’ve paid registration for, and there are legal axle and tire limits that pickup trucks really can’t even approach. Owners manual ratings are not legal limits.
Hey now, slow down. All those fact things are hurting the feelings of the many expert members here. If we stick to reality, I lose the chance to giggle at claims like, "as soon as your insurance company knows you are overweight, they will walk away, and let you deal with the accident alone". The caliber of some expert posts here on the forum are enough to make Forrest Gump envious, and you want to ruin it with REALITY? Oh, the humanity............................
I agree with both of these post. I have read similar post so many times over the years. I read several post a member makes thinking they are contributing worthwhile information on various subjects. Then they come up with absolutely ridicules stories that totally destroy their creditability with everything they have ever posted. Do they make this stuff up just to get attention, to have something to say? I am embarrassed for them, but they are entitled to look foolish if they wish.
