A survey was conducted of commercial vehicles exceeding 3.5 tons gross weight over seven days in 1980 on the dual two-lane A63 trunk road at South Cave near Hull, England. Brief questions were asked of the driver of each vehicle while he was waiting to have the axles weighed, and calibrated photographs were taken. It was hoped that the incidence of illegal overloading could be assessed, and that analysis of the survey results might suggest how overloaded vehicles came to be overloaded (e.g. non-centrally placed loads or simply carriage of too much payload). A computer was used to prepare histograms of the important dimensions. These histograms were tabulated separately for the four most common vehicle configurations and for all the 1646 grouped together.
