8.6 Definitions
Note: These Regulations allow Authorities to exempt vehicles and combinations from the mass and dimension limits in the Heavy Vehicle Standards Regulations and Mass and Loading Regulations.
 The types of vehicles and combinations which may be exempted are:
• special purpose vehicles such as mobile cranes, concrete pumps and fire trucks;
• vehicles and combinations including low loader and load platform combinations designed to carry or carrying large indivisible items; and
• agricultural machines and implements.
 Authorities may grant exemptions by publishing a notice setting out the class of vehicles covered, the areas in which they may travel, and the conditions of travel—which must include the conditions in these Regulations.
 If a vehicle or combination is not covered by a notice, or cannot comply with a notice condition, the operator may apply under these Regulations to the Authority for an individual permit exempting the vehicle or combination from normal mass or dimension limits. The permit may impose some or all of the conditions in these Regulations.
 The Regulations also set out requirements for pilot and escort vehicles which accompany oversize and overmass vehicles and combinations.
