3) Tow ball weight, ideally 10% of ATM and less than maximum from car specification.

    Is a weigh in mandatory in some areas?

      Police will do roadside checks and if you are not complient then you will not be allowed to drive off until you are complient. Some are so over weight that emptying the water tank and putting the wife and kids on a bus is not enough.
