Well, you should contact the city you were driving through, and tell them that a bridge with a weight limit of 2,000 pounds is FAR too flimsy. Considering the average car weighs approximately 3,000 pounds, they should probably up the limit a little bit.
Another thing you could do that may make him feel a bit better is lose some weight. Seeing as he weighs in at around 260 pounds, you must be a fat-ass if you're exceeding the limit and it's not caused by the vehicle.
