§47-19-101.


    (a) Upon the issuance of a special mobilized machinery driveaway
permit as provided in this section special mobilized machinery
manufactured in Oklahoma shall be permitted to move upon the highways
of this state from the place of manufacture to the state line for
delivery and exclusive use outside the State of Oklahoma, and may be
temporarily returned to Oklahoma for modification and repair, with
subsequent movement back out of the state.  Special driveaway permits
for such movement shall be issued by the Commissioner of Public
Safety, who may act through his designated agents, upon the payment
of a fee therefor in the amount of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) for each
such movement; provided, however, that for the movement of such
mobilized equipment back into Oklahoma for modification or repair
said permit fee of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) shall include the
roundtrip movement to Oklahoma and the return to the state line. The
Commissioner of Public Safety is hereby authorized to issue to the
operators of said special mobilized machinery such special tags,
plates or other identifying evidence that the permit herein required
has been obtained.  The provisions of subsections C, D and E of
Section 1129 of this title, relating to registration and additional
fees in lieu of ad valorem taxes, and other laws of this state
relating to registration fees or licensing shall not apply to such
special mobilized equipment when the same is manufactured in Oklahoma
and sold for delivery and exclusive use without the State of
Oklahoma, or when returned temporarily for modification or repair.
    (b) Special mobilized machinery qualifying for a special
driveaway permit, as provided in this section, shall be exempt from
the necessity of conformance with the provisions of Sections 14-101,
14-103 and 14-107 of this code, governing sizes and weights of
vehicles and loads, and shall be exempt from the provisions of
Sections 14-111 and 14-114 of this code, regulating the operation of
highway vehicles by special permit; provided, that in no case shall
the gross weight exceed the legal capacity, as provided in Section
14-109 of this code, of all tires in contact with the highway,
provided further that the size may not be such as to create a safety
hazard in the judgment of the Director of Public Safety.  Permits for
such special mobilized machinery shall specify a maximum permissible
road speed of forty (40) miles per hour, designate safety equipment
to be carried and may exclude use of highways of the interstate
system.
    (c) When such equipment has a width greater than eight (8) feet
or a length exclusive of load, as defined in subsection (d) 5. of
Section 14-103 of this code, of forty (40) feet or a height in excess
of thirteen (13) feet six (6) inches, the permit may designate
highways to be traveled, hours of travel, and when flagmen may be
required to precede or follow the equipment.
    (d) Possession of a special driveaway permit shall in no way be
construed as exempting such equipment from the provisions of Section
14-118 of this code, relating to the power of the Transportation
Commission to restrict use of particular highways, nor shall it
exempt such equipment from the provisions of Section 14-113 of this
code, covering responsibility for damage to highways.
