Not trying to start argument -- but everything will be fine probably unless
you have accident then you are in violation because of width and regardless
of circumstances of wreck law says you are at least partly responsible, even
though you might have been legal in every other way.
And we all now how easy it is to get sued today.

Bruce...
Call me old fashioned and a little rebellious but you are only talking six
inches each side, would it not be safe to presume it is normally the load on
top of the trailer that the police would look at re oversized loads, and if
it is not hanging off the edges and looks all ok and the way it's supposed
to
look................
I've towed some pretty odd things in my time, with some pretty odd things
and
always made sure that lighting and lashing/chaining are done right... Other
things about the rigs were not necessarily to the word of the law, and yes I
have been pulled - but only to be asked "What the heck is that... where did
you get it?" ... etc., etc., and "Have a nice day." ... the officers going
away with an interestering "guess what I saw today" story.
Well that's my 2 bob's/10¢ worth...
