Watching the latest Hurricane news reminds me of people that tow overweight and then proclaim "they are fine, no problems. How did a hurricane coverage correlate to towing? Well those folks that live on the edge of the ocean are "just fine", except when disaster strikes and flattens their home. The person towing grossly over their trucks capability are "just fine" until they get into a situation when they're not.

Although both are preventable the difference is the folks living on the beach only endanger themselves and put their property at risk. The person towing can potentially endanger others.
