Hello richfaa
I made an error in my post “Dangerous Object” should have been “Dangerous Instrument”.
The point I was trying to make is this. If a felony charge is lodged against you because you were overweight and you have any assets the state will not provide you with an attorney. It is unlikely your insurance company will either. In Florida to retain an attorney to represent you in this case would be $10,000.00 plus $350.00 per hour for a cheap one.
The only way to protect yourself against this is to make sure you are not over weight.

I sure don't want a $350 per hour lawyer defending me. I wish you would post a link to that statute. Commercial licensed drivers perhaps? I scanned over the statutes and DL site, but couldn't find anything. FL requires a Class E non-commercial license from what I found.
I honestly don't see how some of you sleep at night worrying about things like this. I worry a lot more about senile drivers than those over weight. Heck, I saw some folks in San Benito a few years back that couldn't find their way out of the Wal Mart to find their motor home....now that is scarey!
