Overloading can cause the tyres to break down or even
burst! This increases the danger that you may lose control
of the vehicle. Therefore, you endanger yourself and other
road users.
If you are not sure whether or not you have overloaded the
vehicle, you should have it weighed at a public weighing
facility.
