not so, in sando licence office, whether new or old vehicle, you have to pull off those vinyl letters

[crash dummy]

I have vehicles with both vinyl and paint. Neither have posed a problem on the road or at licencing office come inspection time.
When this law was set vinyl was not as common as it is now with every jack and they brother doing basically any style/design the mind can imagine.
That being said the paint will obviously be safer. But i dont know who going to stencil out that an d paint it when i hv my squeegee handy lol..

Mine came out of Licensing office after being inspected and was delivered to me at N & M with a black box... no markings in it.

I actually had to drive it like that for a couple days until I got it painted on.

I don't think the officers even check to see it its there worse yet to see if its the correct size.

[brams112]

[ronsin1]

It is a special license to operate on approved routes only

[DjDaniel]

I thought the S was also to indicate Extra Heavy Vehicles?

well extra heavy vehicles need the "S" to operate on those approved Routes

[kevin5211]

my uncle is a truck driver, he said that that S gives them the right to use one ways etc in places where they cannot normally pass while loaded or pulling a trailer.

[*$kїđž!™]

Tare weight /ˈtɛər/, sometimes called unladen weight, is the weight of an empty vehicle or container.

MAXIMUM GROSS WEIGHT (MGW), which is the combined weight of the vehicle PLUS the maximum load it is allowed to carry
