REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 66 1/2,
§14-111 (c).
In this section, "State Highway
Administration" is substituted for the
obsolete reference to the "State Roads
Commission"; in this regard, see revisor's
note to §8—207 of this article.
In subsections (c) and (d) of this section,
the present law is revised to clarify that the
references, to a "first" or a "second or
subsequent" violation refer to violations of
the same nature: i.e., of an "indivisible
load" or "perishable load" overweight
violation.
In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the more
specific term "excess weight" is substituted
for "products". This more limited requirement
