In Nova Scotia, if you break it, you bought it, if they catch you. Course, if the 110000# truck loaded with pulp wood is sitting with the front wheels in the water, between the spans, they kinda got you caught. Ignore the weight rating at your own peril. Personally, I wouldn't want to ride one into the water. Also consider, around here at least, that most of these bridges were built in the early part of the last century, were intended for horse and buggy, are one lane, and nobody ever dreamed of having up to 60 tonne loaded tri-axles crossing them. Their design owes nothing at this point. They've done their due, and a lot more.
Check with your local road authority, and see what it's rated for...
