Facts
A heavy vehicle operator was charged with two offences of permitting a heavy vehicle to be used on a road when it did not comply with the applicable mass requirements. The first offence involved an axle group on a heavy vehicle combination exceeding its permitted mass by 102.8% The second offence involved an axle group on an A-double road train exceeding its permitted mass by 105%. Having regard to the circumstances of the offending, the NHVR exercised its discretion to commence court proceedings by issuing Court Attendance Notices rather than penalty infringement notices. Categorised as worst case scenario given the prior offence history. There is no subjective material before the court to be confident that this type of offence will not recur in the future.

Educational point
Heavy vehicle operators have a duty to ensure that any heavy vehicle they permit to be driven on a road complies with all applicable mass limits. Where a heavy vehicle is detected operating in excess of its permitted mass, the NHVR may commence court proceedings, with the matter to be determined by the Local Court. Operating a heavy vehicle over its permitted mass, even by a relatively small amount, can result in significant penalties, including fines that substantially exceed the amount of a penalty infringement notice. Heavy vehicle operators should implement and maintain robust systems to ensure their vehicles are not operated on roads while exceeding their permitted mass limits.
