South Australian Consolidated Regulations South Australian Consolidated Regulations19FD—Categories of dimension requirement breaches
(1) Subject to
regulation 19FE, a breach of a dimension requirement is a minor risk breach if
the subject-matter of the breach is less than the lower limit for a
substantial risk breach of the requirement.
(2) A breach of a
dimension requirement is a substantial risk breach if the subject-matter of
the breach—
(a) is
equal to or greater than the lower limit for a substantial risk breach of the
requirement; and
(b) is
less than the lower limit for a severe risk breach of the requirement.
(3) A breach of a
dimension requirement is a severe risk breach if the subject-matter of the
breach is equal to or greater than the lower limit for a severe risk breach of
the requirement.
(4) If a
dimension requirement is imposed by reference to the length of a projection of
a load from either side of a vehicle—
(a) the
lower limit for a substantial risk breach of the dimension requirement is
40 millimetres over the maximum permissible dimension limit;
(b) the
lower limit for a severe risk breach of the dimension requirement is
80 millimetres over the maximum permissible dimension limit.
(5) If a
dimension requirement is imposed by reference to the overall width of a
vehicle together with a load and the load is a factor in determining the
overall width—
(a) a
breach of the dimension requirement is categorised by reference to the length
of the projection of the load from a side of the vehicle; and
(b)
—
(i)
the lower limit for a substantial risk breach of the
dimension requirement is 40 millimetres measured from a side of the
vehicle;
(ii)
the lower limit for a severe risk breach of the
dimension requirement is 80 millimetres measured from a side of the
vehicle.
(6) For the purposes
of subregulation (5), if the load projects from both sides and the length
of the projection from one side is greater than the length of the projection
from the other side, the breach is to be categorised by reference to the
longer projection.
(7) If a
dimension requirement is imposed by reference to the overall height of a
vehicle together with a load and the load is a factor in determining the
overall height—
(a) the
lower limit for a substantial risk breach of the dimension requirement is
150 millimetres over the maximum permissible dimension limit;
(b) the
lower limit for a severe risk breach of the dimension requirement is
300 millimetres over the maximum permissible dimension limit.
(8) If a
dimension requirement is imposed by reference to the overall length of a
vehicle together with a load and the load is a factor in determining the
overall length—
(a) the
lower limit for a substantial risk breach of the dimension requirement is
0.35 metre over the maximum permissible dimension limit;
(b) the
lower limit for a severe risk breach of the dimension requirement is
0.60 metre over the maximum permissible dimension limit.
