DMV Crackdown

I guess what some are saying here is leave well enough alone. I'm sure I don't want to go through a scale house even though I am not over length. My motorhome has a GVW of 10,500 and it weighs 13,400 without the trailer. Going down the road with my car and tailer, I'm at 21,000+. I have tried to ask and check on plates and such but get all kinds of answers. Guess it is better to beg forgivness instead of permission. This deal is like what we ran into this week with a local car show to benfit my automotive class. We have been working on it for 3 months and filed the paper work for a non-profit and got insurance and leased a facility and then we get a call from some guy that says he is the enforcement officer for the state of Tennesse and if we don't get a permit he will come give us a ticket that is many times the price of the permit. So we send a guy to Nashville to get the permit because we had to have it 10 days in advance and find out that no, in our case we don't need it. One hand don't know what the other is doing.
