any 'Equipment'
             1.                         The 'Rear Overhang' of any motor vehicle must not exceed 60 percent of the 'Wheelbase', or 3.7 metres, whichever is the lesser.
         3.                               Height, including any 'Equipment'
             1.                         The height of any motor vehicle must not exceed 4.3 metres.
         4.                               'Ground Clearance'
             1.                         The 'Ground Clearance' of a motor vehicle, other than an L-Group vehicle, measured from a horizontal road surface to any applicable point on the underside of the vehicle must, under the conditions of 'Maximum Loaded Test Mass' loading as specified in the relevant braking rule, be not less than:
                 1.                   for the mid-point between any 2 consecutive 'Axles', the dimension in millimetres obtained by multiplying the distance between those 2 'Axles' in metres by 33.33; and
                 2.                   for any other point, 'Ground Clearance' is such that if the wheels of one 'Axle' are on one plane and the wheels on the next consecutive 'Axle' are on another plane which intersects the first so that the angle between them is 7 degrees 38 minutes the point will pass over the apex transverse to the vehicle formed by that intersection, as shown in Figure 1.
             2.                         Where an omnibus, when fully laden and at normal ride height, does not meet the ground clearance as determined in 6.1.4.1.1., a device must be fitted to enable the chassis to be lifted sufficiently to meet the ground clearance relative to the wheelbase for manoeuvring purposes only.
         5.                               'Overall Width', including any 'Equipment'
             1.                         The 'Overall Width' of a category MA, MB, MC, MD, ME, NA or
                sub-category NB1 vehicle must not exceed 2,500 mm.
             2.                         The 'Overall Width' of a sub-category NB2 or category NC vehicle must not exceed 2,550 mm.
                 1.                   Sub-category NB2 and category NC vehicles with an 'Overall Width' exceeding 2,500 mm must comply with:
                          1.                 the Australian Design Rule 14/03 – Devices for Indirect Vision, or a later version;
                          2.                the Australian Design Rule 35/07 – Commercial Vehicle Brake Systems, or a later version;
                          3.                 except for vehicles with four or more 'Axles', vehicles 'designed for off-road use' (see Note 1 below), and mobile cranes otherwise not required to comply (see Note 2 below); the Australian Design Rule 97/00 – Advanced Emergency Braking for Omnibuses, and Medium and Heavy Goods Vehicles, or a later version; and
                          4.                except for vehicles with four or more 'Axles', vehicles 'designed for off-road use' (see Note 1 below), and mobile cranes where otherwise not required to comply (see Note 2 below); the Australian Design Rule 99/00 – Lane Departure Warning Systems, or a later version.
              Note 1: For the definition of 'designed for off-road use' see ADR 97/00 and ADR 99/00, and ADR99/01 (as applicable).
