You mean vehicles have a weight limit, I though the limit was "if you can fit it in ..." ;-)

Clearly there are a few cars loaded using that principal if you watch the holiday traffic on the motoways.

Or the electrical system has failed. You could just imagine it ...

Driver to passenger : "Quick, get that bloody fuse changed, there's a queue ahead !)

The message from Simon Hobson contains these words:

Hooray for self levelling suspension. Makes an overloaded Montego estate far less obvious!

I have to be a bit more careful than most. Whilst configured more as a large MPV than a van, as my vehicle is a Fiat Ducato, which is technically a commercial vehicle, I would more likely get a 5000 quid fine and a black mark at the traffic commissioner's than a roadside telling off if found overloaded.

The important thing about any energy storage system is it's efficiency. If above a certain level then the benefits of centralised generation of energy outweigh the losses involved in storing it and carrying it about. It's still a loss, but potentially less of one.
