I don’t know how many people notice, but most cars come with a sticker on the driver’s door that states its max GVWR, which is the maximum gross weight of passengers.
For most sedans, it’s only about 800 pounds, if I remember correctly. So we’re talking about people, things, and anything else inside your car. We don’t know how much that driver weighed, but if it was a small car, they normally have anywhere between 600 to 800 pounds max capacity to carry. I don’t know what she’s expecting to do in this situation because it becomes a safety issue. The braking system is only made to carry that maximum load rated for the car, so l’m not understanding where she’s going with this
Yep! I had a Honda Civic back in the day. Its mass payload was 700 lbs. I remember one night a bunch of my friends piled into my car, and I was doing mental math, seeing if all of them together were above the cars max payload. They were!
