Not stopping at weigh stations when it’s backed up to the freeway

I'd be more worried about some corndog in a truck rear ending you. But yeah I would of keep going too.

 

I agree, I’ll take my chances fighting a ticket than chance some idiot smashing into me.

 

Some scales have signs that tell you to bypass the scale if the ramp is full.

 

Banning isn’t one of them

 

I believe there’s a shirt that reads “ I survived the banning scale” or something like that.. I just don’t bother stopping there ever... or any scale in California for that matter.

 

yeah goes back to the early 90s those t-shirts

 

because through the years in the republic of California people are scared crapless of the banning scales..
the stories are real some just don't want to be bothered or end up being another casualty..
so they patiently wait their turn to approach the scales not doing anything to aggravate them..
mother sitting in line if the sign doesn't say bypass the scales when it comes to banning that's just the way a lot of people roll...

 

I always went past them in CA if they were full. Totally unsafe to sit on the shoulder like that. Never got chased down but maybe I was lucky. Bypassed and empty open scale in Santa Nella once by accident at got off of I5 and went into McDonald’s out of paranoia. Got made fun of when I got back to the yard.

 

Things sure are lenient down there.
Blow past a scale here and say goodbye to thousands of dollars and your license, plus a hefty tow truck bill when they have it impounded.
