However, showing up at the accident with an overloaded vehicle gives your opponent's lawyer more to get you with. And, OMG, why would anyone ignore the weight limits of their vehicle. A blow out at highway speeds with the family aboard is not fun. Smoking the brakes with 40 mph of speed still to lose is not fun. I look at some of these Jed Clampett-mobiles going down the freeway and just scratch my head. Yeah, you can do it. But why?
