This rule is authorized by Section 41-6a-1602 which authorizes the department to establish guidelines to issue a permit which allows temporary operation of a vehicle in violation of the provisions of this chapter or in violation of rules made by the department. Subsection 41-6a-1601(2) states that the department shall make rules setting minimum standards covering the design, construction, condition, and operation of vehicle equipment for safely operating a motor vehicle on the highway.
