that the second defence against prosecution for overloading involves proof that the limit was not exceeded by more than 5 per cent at the time of loading. D oes this provide a margin of error for the operator?
No. In paraphrasing the sub-section it might be that the wrong impression was given. In fact, it must be proved that, where the weight limit is not exceeded by more than 5 per cent, the limit (plated weight) was not exceeded at the time of loading and that no person has made any addition to the load since.
