(j) Whenever upon measuring or weighing of a vehicle and load,
the vehicle is found to be in violation of the law, said vehicle must be
unloaded until the vehicle complies with the applicable law, before
the vehicle can be moved and all material or cargo so unloaded shall
be cared for by the owner or operator of such vehicle at the risk of
such owner or operator; provided, however, on first offense by a
person operating a vehicle which has an indivisible load, the vehicle
may be allowed to proceed after obtaining a permit from the State
Roads Commission, but on second or subsequent offense, the vehicle
carrying the indivisible load must return to the place of entry or
origin in the State after obtaining a permit from the State Roads
Commission to do so; and provided, further, that a vehicle violating
the law and carrying as its full load perishable products shall for
first offense only by the person operating the vehicle be allowed to
proceed to the destination, but for a second or subsequent offense
within any one calendar year, said products must be unloaded before
the vehicle can be moved. Vehicles bearing valid registration plates
issued by this State under the provisions of Section 81 (f), (g) and (h)
of this Article and transporting liquid milk, in bulk from the producer,
