Curt Hitch Company already has an "electronic weight sensing device" that measures weight (very accurately I might add) by using the OBD-II port to access the current sensor technology found in every "modern tow vehicle". The device connects to any smart phone via bluetooth to provide the results. It could "just as easily" provide that information to the ignition system of the vehicle to prevent it from moving..... Draconian to be sure, but......

Just like the "door ajar" chime or the "seatbelt" chime or the "lights on" chime or the "key in the ignition" chime.... The "incessant ding, ding, ding" of the "overweight chime" would/might motivate people to at least look at their trailer weight..... Might not (probably won't) make a difference with someone "determined" but might be a "wake-up call" for those who "simply aren't sure or don't understand simple math"..... Maybe ????? |
It would help at the dealer on delivery day possibly
