Joe... I have asked many times for you to cite the law that would be broken in Texas. You refuse to do that. Until you can provide the language of the law being broken, I'm not going to keep repeating myself to you. Be as snarky as you want to be, but that doesn't change the facts.
A registration is indeed a tax. All the police can do is cite you for driving too heavy down the road and not paying an appropriate tax for that privilege.
You can sue anyone for anything you want, that is the great/horrible thing about this country. At the end of the day though, you are responsible for your decisions. That guy in your photo could legally register his vehicle for 12,000 lbs and legally drive down the road grossly overloaded. The state isn't certifying that his vehicle is SAFE to do so, only legal to do so. If he loads his vehicle down and kills someone, that is HIS fault. You live in Texas, you can carry a gun if you want to. If you aren't safe in how you handle it, you could shoot yourself in the foot. Can you sue Texas for allowing you the privilege of shooting yourself in the foot, or do you have some personal and legal responsibility to carry the gun safely? Same thing with a motor vehicle.
I've already explained to you why my Ram 2500 has been certified to carry 12,000 lbs. I could legally register it to 12,000 lbs and cruise down the road and there is absolutely nothing that the police can do about it... unless of course you can find me a specific violation in Texas (which I've been asking in multiple posts thus far). Heck, I can register to 15,000 lbs and cruise down the road, there is nothing that they can do. At 12,000 lbs I am comfortable with the ability to safely drive my truck... at 15,000 lbs I am not comfortable. While both are legal, there needs to be some common sense behind it. It would be easy for me to argue why I felt 12,000 was reasonable, it would be very difficult to explain why 15,000 was reasonable.
If you wish to continue our discussion, I'm going to need to see some factual basis for your claim, rather than an emotional response based upon feelings.
