blind guy,
I would have told the guy to estimate me, then SHOW ME the actual law (RCW in wa st) I was breaking if I was over a manufactures wt limit. If he tried to tell me I was, he would have had an earfull with the REAL RCW saying what my actual state limits were, along with the FEDERAL wt limits! Which the fed and st limits are generally speaking the same. Have been on the books for roads and other paths, etc since the early to mid 1800's. Being as cars were not around at that time, with manufacture limits, the locals went by lbs per inch width of tire or equal that "vehicles" had in those days. The wt laws are enforced the same today as they were before the civil war etc. He would not have gotten very far with me. As the wt laws are there to protect the road bed themselves, NOT us as drivers of vehicles, passengers, etc.
