12 Failure to comply with certain exemptions
An exemption given under any Regulations made under the Act is to be disregarded in the prosecution of a person for an offence against these Regulations if: (a) the offence relates to the failure of a vehicle or combination of vehicles to comply with a dimension limit applying under these Regulations; and (b) the exemption permitted a greater dimension limit, but, at the time of the alleged offence, the vehicle or combination of vehicles was travelling: (i) on a route other than a route where the vehicle or combination was permitted to travel under the exemption; or (ii) at a time other than a time when the vehicle was permitted to travel under the exemption; or (iii) accompanied by fewer than the number of pilot or escort vehicles required under the exemption.
