474. (Replaced).
474. Every person who contravenes section 407 or 408 is guilty of an offence and is liable, in addition to costs, to a fine of not under
(1) $100, or,
(2) where the road vehicle or combination of road vehicles is outsized in respect of the total loaded mass, to a minimum fine established in the following manner:
(a) where the factor of estimation of the fine is less than 150, the fine is $1 multiplied by the factor of estimation; however, it is not under $100;
(b) where the factor of estimation of the fine is from 150 to 200, the fine is $150, plus the product of $2 multiplied by the difference between the factor of estimation and 150;
(c) where the factor of estimation of the fine is from 200 to 250, the fine is $250, plus the product of $3 multiplied by the difference between the factor of estimation and 200;
(d) where the factor of estimation of the fine is from 250 to 300, the fine is $400, plus the product of $4 multiplied by the difference between the factor of estimation and 250;
(e) where the factor of estimation of the fine is 300 or over, the fine is $600, plus the product of $5 multiplied by the difference between the factor of estimation and 300.
The factor of estimation of the fine is equal to the number of kilograms exceeding the total loaded mass standard fixed, divided by the product obtained by multiplying by 10 the number of axles whose wheels are in contact with the public highway at the time of the offence.
