Real - Obesity taxi service, my car can't cope...

Just a brief introduction to myself.. I've been on the forum for a good few years, nosed about a bit, but this is my first real life story/event I must share :)

I'm an apprentice vehicle spray painter by trade, but have a second job working for a specialist taxi / park-and-ride taxi service, which I have been doing for the past 4 months.

My regular taxi work was just a park-and-ride into the city route, but a month ago my shifts changed and every Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays I've been taking 2 morbidly obese patients from their homes to a doctors surgery in the city for check ups etc, then after for a couple of stops at any places they want to go. Overall it takes around 4-5 hours.

The two patients are very friendly, chatty and quite pretty, one is in her late 20's (lets call her Jess) and the other late 30's (so lets call her Jaz), they both have a carer nurse to help them, but she leaves us at the surgery, and again she is quite plump, pretty and overweight too!

Now for the juicy part... because as I'm provide a specialist taxi service for these ladies my regular taxi is a more spacious Skoda Roomster. Now their carer has given me their approx. weights so that I can insure they comply with the vehicle safety req. etc.. Jess is 240kg (530lbs), belly heavy, dark blonde, and Jaz is 275kg (610lbs), light brunett, more pear shaped.. both making a combined weight of over half a ton (515kg) sitting in the back of my car.... not to mention their carer sitting in the front! Overall my vehicle is on the gross max weight limit of 1600kg! However, I fear it has been exceeded with the weight of their carer too! I've requested a new larger vehicle ASAP which is coming next month, because currently too stupidly small and uncomfortable for them.

It's quite crazy driving a medium sized car with two pretty and lovely obese women riding in the back weighing over half a ton! I've checked the supension a couple of times an it's looked almost completely compressed! Another problem I have is that they both live in villages outside the town so there's hilly valley/country roads to drive on to get to town, but I always drive carefully when they're riding in the back, but sometimes the car really struggles to pull with the weight, and braking is much harder and should be done more carefully... espiecally when there obstacles in the road, like animals or tree branches... and I'm sad to say that 2 squirrels have been run over simply because it's been impossible to brake in time or swerve :(.

We sometimes park up at a small cafe for a drink and look at the view, which involves driving down a small road/lane which is quite bumpy, I've checked a few times to see their belly's wobbling in the back as the car goes over the bumps, it's so cute! Their plump carer helps them sometimes if she stays, the three of them waddle through the short grass to the picnic table.

One of the funniest moments was when we were parked up and a fly was flying around in the back of the car, both Jess and Jaz were flapping trying to get it, eventually Jaz squashed it onto her tummy! I always love it when they get in, the entire car rocks and rolls a bit, even with the handbrake on.

 

I will try and make any updates of my fat chick taxi service adventures! I'm honestly loving this jobs at the moment!

Skoda. You must be in Europe somewhere. I was under the impression that Europeans were not as heavy as the US. 500+ lbs and 600+ lbs is big not only for Europe, but also here in the states. Quite fortunate for you.
