Some people will have to go on a diet, others will only be able to transport 1 case of beer home at a time.

I plan to fill my washer fluid only halfway, and take out the spare tire.

I wonder who will be enforcing the restrictions. The R.C.M.P do not carry scales, I don't think anyone on the city staff is trained to weigh commercial traffic so I guess maybe it will be the honour system. LOL Good Luck!!!!
