What will be the penalty for driving an
overloaded vehicle that has a GVWR of
5,500 kgs, or less, if that vehicle is
manufactured after January 1, 2001?
The driver of any vehicle manufactured after
January 1, 2001, which is loaded above its
GVWR, may receive a violation ticket. The
GVWR is the standard for determining if a vehicle
is overweight. A change to the regulations affects
the drivers of vehicles that have a GVWR of 5,500 kgs, or less, and are manufactured before
January 1, 2001. This change was made to allow
owners of the exempted vehicles time to
upgrade, if needed, to vehicles that are better
suited to their load-carrying needs. The change
will also give vehicle dealers time to ensure
consumers are advised about the GVWR and its
implications when purchasing a vehicle.
