and no other evidence of weight shall be required. This section does not apply to the owner of a boat trailer being registered in accordance
with section 4503.173 of the Revised Code . (B) The owner of a trailer described in division (A) of this section or the operator
of a motor vehicle towing such a trailer may tow the trailer directly to and from
a scale facility for the purpose of determining the trailer's weight prior to the
registration of the trailer provided that at the time of such towing the owner or
operator has in the owner's or operator's possession an official weight slip prescribed
by the registrar and provided the trailer does not carry any load during such towing.
