LOL, you don't have to be overweight to have an ambulance chaser after you!
Be way over weight and side swipe someone and you're at fault.........guess what....you're at fault.
Be under weight by thousands of pounds and side swipe someone and you're at fault.....guess what....you're at fault!
The problem comes when some idiot pulls out directly in front of you, or pulls directly in front of you and "Break Checks" you and you hit them. They will say it's your fault.
This is the reason I run with a Dash Cam, underweight or overweight, I would strongly suggest all RV's run with them!!
My favorite is always passing lanes on hills, I will be climbing at the speed limit or a bit better, and as I see the lane ends there is this sect in my rear-view mirror and it is trying for all it is worth to get a head of me. If they make it they may need to squeeze into a the space the following space I allow, then typically because that were speeding about 15 mph over what we were all going, slam on their brakes to keep from hitting the car in front of them!!!
Once again, best defense is a dash cam.
