NOLAN Deputy Attorney General THE HONORABLE KEVIN JEFFRIES, MEMBER ASSEMBLY, has requested an opinion on the following question: OF THE STATE For purposes of Vehicle Code section 35782(b), what is the definition of the term unusually large or heavy load? CONCLUSION For purposes of Vehicle Code section 35782(b), the term unusually large or heavy load has no uniform statewide definition, but rather refers to a vehicle load that (1) exceeds the statutory size and weight maximums prescribed in the Vehicle Code, and (2) is sufficiently large or heavy, as determined by the Department of Transportation or a local authority, to pose a substantial risk to public facilities that is not adequately covered by the level of insurance otherwise required by law. 1 09-212
