Ignorance is bliss...
See this stuff all the time
From towing, hauling to a Civic telling the guy at local hardware loading wood
pellets
It was down to the bump stops and the hardware guy called his manager. Who came
out and had the Civic owner sign a waiver. Always wondered if he made it home
and if he drove on the freeway. Nothing in the news, so assume he made it and
thinks his Civic can haul anything...true...but the real issue for how long
Countless times come up to a setup swaying all over the place. Most memorable
was an Explore pointed to the sky, tail dragging a very large trailer taking
two lanes with it's sway
The driver and passenger were having a marvelous time eating pizza with not a
inkling of what they were causing to everyone around them. Assume they made it
to where ever they were going, as never saw a news report about them. Think they
number in the thousands or more...
Folks who refer to folks who believe in the ratings systems and numbers as
"The Weight Police"
A derogatory so that they can ignore them and wait till they hear what they
want to hear
