                 1.                   for a trailer having a single 'Axle Group' the 'Drawbar Length' must not exceed 8.5 metres.
                 2.                   For all other trailers the 'Drawbar Length' must not exceed 5 metres.
         4.                                'Articulated Omnibuses'

     2.                                      'Rear Overhang' (including any 'Equipment')
         1.                               For a trailer (other than a 'Semi-trailer') having a single 'Axle Group' the 'Rear Overhang' must not exceed the length of the load space forward of the line at the rear of the vehicle from which 'Rear Overhang' is measured, or 3.7 metres whichever is the lesser.
         2.                               For a 'Semi-trailer' the 'Rear Overhang' must not exceed 60 per cent of the distance between the centreline of the 'Fifth Wheel' king pin and the line from which 'Rear Overhang' of the 'Semi-trailer' is measured, or 3.7 metres whichever is the lesser.
         3.                               For all other motor vehicles and trailers (other than 'Semi-trailers') the 'Rear Overhang' must not exceed 60 per cent of the distance from the centreline of the front 'Axle' (or the front 'Axle' of a 'Twin Steer Axle Group') to the line from which 'Rear Overhang' is measured, or 3.7 metres whichever is the lesser.
         4.                               In the case of a vehicle fitted with 'Twin Steer Axle Group', the front 'Axle' of that group must be the 'Axle' used to determine the permitted 'Rear Overhang'.
     3.                                     Height, including any 'Equipment'
         1.                               The height of any vehicle, except for a 'Livestock Trailer' must not exceed 4.3 m.

 1.                               for any point in the width of the vehicle which is within one metre fore and aft of any 'Axle', 100 mm;
 2.                               for the mid-point between any 2 consecutive 'Axles', the dimension in millimetres obtained by multiplying the
