Is the Licensing Authority authorized to permit the use of a vehicle with size and weight which exceed regulations?
- No, only a police officer ranked superintendent or higher is allowed to provide such permission.
- Correct answer: Yes, under special conditions.
- Yes, following consultation with the Public Works Department and with the Police.
- No, the Licensing Authority is prohibited to provide any permit against regulations.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, under special conditions.
The Licensing Authority is authorized to permit the use of a vehicle whose size or weight exceeds what the regulations set, for example to carry oversize freight, but only under certain conditions. The permit is not unrestricted, and all the conditions set in it must be met. So the claim that the Authority may not grant such a permit at all is incorrect.
