(d) to ensure that the vehicle is structurally sound and capable of carrying the load without the load or any portion of it falling off or leaking from the vehicle.

Increases to Vehicle Weight Limits

24.

(1) The Registrar may, in respect of a vehicle, increase the maximum weight limits set out in Schedules A to K by posting a notice of the increased weight limits on the website of the Department.

(2) A notice of increased weight limits posted under this section must include
