Overweight

[Don Bradner]

As Bob notes, that is for commercial vehicles only. There is not a state in the
union that expects a motor home, regardless of weight, to cross the scales. They
probably won't say anything if you do, unless they are backed up - then the
truckers might be a bit peeved at you for slowing them down.

The reason I asked about the ticket was because you said "if you are overweight"
and I didn't realize that you meant over some listed value on a sign.

For the record, I've done what you did once - I crossed the scales on entering
British Columbia because the wording wasn't clear and I didn't want to risk it -
I've since learned that they don't want you to there, either.
