2.4  Carrying goods in addition to a large indivisible item
 (1) A vehicle or combination must not carry more than one large indivisible item unless:
 (a) the vehicle or combination and its load complies with the mass limits in the Mass and Loading Regulations; and

 (2) A vehicle or combination carrying one or more large indivisible items must not carry any other goods unless:
 (a) the vehicle or combination and its load complies with the mass limits in the Mass and Loading Regulations; and
