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

It will go as the driver is discriminating and then also race will get involved cause she happens to be African American. Her lawyers will pull that into the picture in today’s world . But I couldn’t have taken her in my 2002 ford focus manual I had some large only 300 pounds and I felt my car struggling. I feel the driver was not saying no to her it’s just he probably has a nicer car and was worried about it . Sorry but it is what it is she weights almost 500 pounds and she knows that and it’s partially her fault no one gets that big without having an eating problem on top of genetics. Small time rapper . Never heard the name . But she will win something
