or load cannot be dismantled; enforcement; fines.

     (a) Any person who violates this article, rules and
regulations promulgated under it or the conditions of any permit
issued under it is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable except
where otherwise provided in this article, by a fine of not less
than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than five hundred
dollars ($500.00), imprisonment for not more than thirty (30)
days, or both.

     (b) Where the vehicle or load cannot be readily dismantled
to meet the provisions of this act, the director or his
authorized representative may issue a permit as authorized under
this act.

     (c) A driver of any vehicle, or combination of vehicles
upon demand of any state trooper having reason to believe that
the weight of any vehicle or combination, including load, if
any, is unlawful, shall stop and submit the vehicle or
combination of vehicles and any load thereon to a weighing at
any state owned or leased scales not to exceed five (5) miles
from the declared route of travel, unless the vehicle has been
weighed at a port of entry with the same load. The driver shall
comply with the directions of the trooper to obtain the total
weight or measurement of the load and vehicle.

     (d) If a vehicle or combination of vehicles does not
exceed the gross weight provisions of Table I or Table II, but
does exceed the axle limits in an amount not over two thousand
(2,000) pounds, or does exceed either the width limits of W.S.
31-18-802(a)(i) or the length limits of W.S. 31-18-802(a)(iv) by
not more than twelve (12) inches, the cargo may be repositioned
by the operator to comply with the legal limits and be allowed
to proceed without penalty. In the case of a load that has
shifted during transit and cannot be reasonably repositioned to
meet legal limits, a permit may be issued.
