    “Can haul” and “can haul safely” are different.

    She was loading bags of gravel into a Toyota Corolla. Sure, it’ll drive, but will it brake?

    If she should crash into something there’s also a huge difference in having a heavy passenger wearing a seat belt and loading the back seats with bags of gravel.
