77 Lower limits—overall length breaches: recategorisation of certain breaches involving rear projections
(1) This section applies to a breach of a dimension requirement to which section 75 (Lower limits—overall length breaches: laden vehicle) applies, where: (a) the rear of a load on a vehicle or combination fails to carry a required warning signal; and (b) the breach would, because of lower limits applicable under section 75 and apart from this Subdivision, be a minor risk breach or a substantial risk breach.
Note: The Road Transport Reform (Mass and Loading) Regulations of the Commonwealth provide that the rear of a load on a vehicle must carry a warning signal if the load projects more than 1.2 metres behind the vehicle or in other specified circumstances.
(2) A breach to which this section applies that would, apart from this section, be a minor risk breach is taken to be a substantial risk breach. (3) A breach to which this section applies that would, apart from this section, be a substantial risk breach is taken to be a severe risk breach.
