11.8subdivision 1
, is not subject to any provision of paragraph (d) or chapter 169 limiting

11.10gross vehicle weight plus its weight allowance allowed in clause (1) and plus any weight
11.11allowance permitted under section

11.18conviction for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight for which it was
11.19registered or for operating a vehicle with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful
11.20axle load weight, is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to increased registration or
11.21reregistration according to the following schedule:
11.22(1) Upon conviction for transporting a gross weight in excess of the gross weight
11.23for which a motor vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer is registered by more than the allowance
11.24set forth in paragraph (b) but less than 25 percent, or for operating or using a motor
11.25vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer with an axle weight exceeding the maximum lawful axle
11.26load as provided in sections
169.822 to
169.829 by more than the allowance set forth in

11.28trailer, or semitrailer used to commit the violation, in addition to any penalty imposed for
11.29the misdemeanor, shall apply to the registrar to increase the authorized gross weight to
11.30be carried on the vehicle to a weight equal to or greater than the gross weight the owner,
11.31driver, or user was convicted of carrying. The increase is computed for the balance of
11.32the calendar year on the basis of 1/12 of the annual tax for each month remaining in the
11.33calendar year beginning with the first day of the month in which the violation occurred.
11.34If the additional registration tax computed upon that weight, plus the tax already paid,
11.35amounts to more than the regular tax for the maximum gross weight permitted for the
11.36vehicle under sections
169.822 to
169.829, that additional amount must nevertheless be
12.1paid into the highway fund, but the additional tax thus paid does not authorize or permit
12.2any person to operate the vehicle with a gross weight in excess of the maximum legal
12.3weight as provided by sections
169.822 to
