The width of 2.5 m referred to in the first paragraph is increased to 2.6 m where the track width of each axle of the vehicle is 2.5 m or more. The track width is the overall length of an axle, including the wheels, measured from the tire side wall to any point above the lowest point of the rim.

Despite the first paragraph, the maximum width of a farm trailer owned by a farmer is 2.6 m and, for a trailer carrying grains and travelling unloaded, 3.75 m.

The first paragraph does not apply to the following road vehicles, owned by a farmer, when they travel elsewhere than on an autoroute and have a width of not more than 7.5 m:
