Because of bad directions I went through about 1/2 mile of a no through 6,000 pounds limit. Luckily, no cops spotted me, as I was not pulled over. I figured it would be really strange if they did see me and not doing anything, opting to send in a ticket through the mail.
But perhaps an angry 4 wheeler phoned in, letting it be known that there was an 18 wheeler on a no through 6000 pound street. Speaking of no through streets, wouldn't one have to visually see the truck go from one end to another in order to issue a ticket? I've had plenty of deliveries where it was on a no through road. It's just that up until now I've never actually driven through one without making a delivery.
Has anyone ever received an overweight ticket through the mail? If so, how long did it take? Any one been outed by a 4 wheeler?
This may seem like paranoia, but overweight tickets could financially screw everything up for a looong time.
4 wheelers calling police on you?

Ok, are you saying that you actually received a ticket in the mail for being overweight on a weight restricted street or is all of this purely hypothetical?

Sok, Bet you a donut you were in the lovely state of Va? They like to wait until you have no choice but to go thru, then post a tiny little sign saying no trucks. The only place I've ever gotten a ticket.
I don't think I'd lose any sleep about it. If any cops were very concerned, you'd have known by now, it would seem.

Sort of reminds me of this:
A buddy of mine in a 4-wheeler ran a red light on a busy street, at dusk. Two weeks later, he receives a ticket for $45 with a pic of the front and back of his offending car clearly showing his license plate(they must have a couple of remote cameras on top of the stoplight he ran)
He did what anyone would do...My buddy pomptly got out his digital camera, and took pictures of 2 $20's and a $5 then sent the pics with the ticket and included envelope back to the city.
Two weeks later, my buddy gets the ticket in the mail again, along with a picture of a pair of handcuffs.
He then pays the $45...
