Wo.ody- I appreciate your response to jimh425. It is pretty much my belief on the subject.
rickeoni- Great information. I have ask the same question; "Has anybody ever been personally cited for being overweight?". Never have I read a yes. Hopefully the readers will take note that you are referring to your understanding/experience in Canada. It is my understanding that on this subject, BC has different laws than other Canadian Provinces. Please correct me if this is incorrect.
I agree with your Hover Craft comment. To me, it is a love hate subject. I love it that we can get valuable information, and hate it when people just shoot from the hit.
John & Angela - That is good to know. I wonder if they treat us yanks the same as the BC'ers. What I mean is do they kinda appreciate our laws may be different? I sure see no reason to excuse obvious unsafe operation of any vehicle, but that is different that splitting hairs with door decals.
I have been in Canada a couple of times with my present rig. Using the BC laws, I am in violation. To my knowledge, I was never given a second glance.
