In 1995 I lived in California and was issued a ticket for passing a weigh station on my way to work. I was a contractor and worked out of a 12' flatbed Ford F 350. I had been driving past that same one for at least 5 years. The officer (I'm being polite) said because my flatbed was more than 80" wide it qualified as a commercial vehicle. I measured it later that day and it was 79"!!! Anyway, I have many complaints about Cali!! Beautiful state, rediculous politicians (sometimes).
