§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.
