463. No owner or lessee of an outsized vehicle or operator subject to Title VIII.1 who is responsible for an outsized vehicle may allow that vehicle to be driven before he has obtained a special permit issued for that purpose.
The special permit shall be issued by the Minister of Transport on the conditions and subject to the formalities established by regulation and on payment of the duties and fees prescribed by regulation. However, no special permit may be issued except to authorize the driving of a vehicle that is outsized because of its construction, the addition of equipment, its forming a road train, or of the indivisible nature of its load.
The Minister may delegate the exercise of a power under the second paragraph to a public servant or employee of the Ministère des Transports or to any other person or body the Minister designates.
Where the applicant cannot meet the conditions referred to in the second paragraph and where justified by exceptional circumstances, a special permit may be issued by the Minister under section 633 on the conditions and on payment of the duties fixed by him.
