:lol2::lol2: I remember one time when I was still running stateside.. Was in South Dakota if memory serves me...don't recall the highway, but the scale was in the centre of it. My oldest daughter was with me, she was about 9 or so at the time...she's 27 now...so it WAS some time ago!
Anyway, it was a lovely day, she had the road atlas on her lap & we were looking at the scenery, yakking back & forth...I never even saw the signs let alone the scale...LOL Next I knew there were blue lights in my mirror, so I pulled over & the trooper walks up to my truck...I think he was somewhat surprised to see me behind the wheel, but then asked my "Why I drove by the scale"... HUH??? What scale? Anyway, he takes my log book & registration book & tells me to follow him...so I did, weighed & went into the scale...and lo & behold there's two ladies behind the counter. One of them looks at me & says...your logbook is fine, your weights are good, can you give me ONE good reason WHY you drove by the scale? Well, I always believe honesty is the best policy...soooo I told her EXACTLY what I'd been doing... well then I had to go GET my daughter out of the truck & she got pop & candy & how are you enjoying the trip, they said have a nice day & sent me on my way...no warning, no ticket, no nuthin'! WHEWWW!
