1. (a) Upon the issuance of a special mobilized machinery driveaway permit as provided in this section special mobilized machinery manufactured in Oklahoma shall be permitted to move upon the highways of this state from the place of manufacture to the state line for delivery and exclusive use outside the State of Oklahoma, and may be temporarily returned to Oklahoma for modification and repair, with subsequent movement back out of the state. Special driveaway permits for such movement shall be issued by the Commissioner of Public Safety, who may act through his designated agents, upon the payment of a fee therefor in the amount of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) for each such movement; provided, however, that for the movement of such mobilized equipment back into Oklahoma for modification or repair said permit fee of Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) shall include the roundtrip movement to Oklahoma and the return to the state line. The Commissioner of Public Safety is hereby authorized to issue to the operators of said special mobilized machinery such special tags, plates or other identifying evidence that the permit herein required has been obtained. The provisions of subsections C, D and E of Section 1129 of this title, relating to registration and additional fees in lieu of ad valorem taxes, and other laws of this state relating to registration fees or licensing shall not apply to such special mobilized equipment when the same is manufactured in Oklahoma and sold for delivery and exclusive use without the State of Oklahoma, or when returned temporarily for modification or repair.
2. (b) Special mobilized machinery qualifying for a special driveaway permit, as provided in this section, shall be exempt from the necessity of conformance with the provisions of Sections 14-101, 14-103 and 14-107 of this code, governing sizes and weights of vehicles and loads, and shall be exempt from the provisions of Sections 14-111 and 14-114 of this code, regulating the operation of highway vehicles by special permit; provided, that in no case shall the gross weight exceed the legal capacity, as provided in Section 14-109 of this code, of all tires in contact with the highway, provided further that the size may not be such as to create a safety hazard in the judgment of the Director of Public Safety. Permits for such special mobilized machinery shall specify a maximum permissible road speed of forty (40) miles per hour, designate safety equipment to be carried and may exclude use of highways of the interstate system.
3. (c) When such equipment has a width greater than eight (8) feet or a length exclusive of load, as defined in subsection (d) 5. of Section 14-103 of this code, of forty (40) feet or a height in excess of thirteen (13) feet six (6) inches, the permit may designate highways to be traveled, hours of travel, and when flagmen may be required to precede or follow the equipment.
4. (d) Possession of a special driveaway permit shall in no way be construed as exempting such equipment from the provisions of Section 14-118 of this code, relating to the power of the Transportation Commission to restrict use of particular highways, nor shall it exempt such equipment from the provisions of Section 14-113 of this code, covering responsibility for damage to highways.
