Ok, that I can understand, but think about it a little further. If the tag is good for 4,000 lbs, and the vehicle weights 3,500 lbs empty then it stands to reason if you put 4 adults weighing in at 200lbs apiece (((and with the obisity problem in the USA nowdays that's a very, very easy thing to do)))) then it's going to be over it's tagged weight by 300 lbs. Add in any other passangers, any luggage, etc, etc and your talking a true overweight vehicle.
Personally the first weight ticket I got in my service truck for being over about 400 lbs on my rear axel. I'm tagged for 38,000lbs so I wasn't even over my tagged weight, just NC's limit of 20,000 per axel because of position my load was sitting in. Unfortunatly regardless of the tagged weight the axel weight limit varies widely across the country so you can be legal in one place and then illegal when you cross a state line...all because of something you often have no control over.
Basically what Trooper or DMV officer is going to pull over a car and give the driver a ticket even though the car weights more than it's legally tagged for just because of the weight of the passangers???? You know as well as I do it't not going to happen....But they have no problem pulling over and weighing a commercial truck and giveing a ticket over something the driver may have had absolutely no control over such as placement of a load. Now tell me where is any of that fare to those of us that pay dearly in an attempt pay our share based on what out vehicle weighs and to stay legal??? Why not ticket Joe and his four overweight buddies rolling around in their Coupe-Deville when they are just as illegal when it comes to being over the weight they tagged their vehicle for as any commercial driver would be???
