(d) If
a vehicle, after being weighed by any law enforcement officer, is found to be
carrying a gross weight in excess by more than 20% of the total weight under
which it was registered, the finding shall be considered prima facie evidence
that the registrant of the vehicle did not pay the proper fee and register the
vehicle for the proper amount of weight.
(e) If
any person fails to increase the registered weight of their vehicle as provided
by this section, and pay the required fee, the registration and plates of the
vehicle shall be suspended by the commissioner, after notice and opportunity

(f) The
registrant shall ensure that a vehicle is not registered at a weight in excess
of the weight allowed under RSA 266:18, or a greater weight if special

circumstances in which a vehicle was registered at a greater weight unless the
registrant provides proof that the vehicle was registered due to an error on
the part of the department or a clerk, and that the vehicle has not been
operated at a weight in excess of the weight allowed by law.
