If you are driving an overnormative vehicle with the total laden weight exceeding 60 t, are you obliged to be piloted by assisting pilot vehicles?

According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, a non-standard vehicle requires a pilot escort if its actual gross mass exceeds 60 tonnes. Exceeding this mass is one of the criteria that strictly requires the assistance of at least one pilot vehicle. This is intended to ensure safety and to minimise disruption for other road users.
