(a)	If a vehicle or combination of vehicles is operated in this State without a special permit issued under G.S. 20-119 for oversized vehicles, or in violation of the restrictions stated on that special permit, the owner or registrant of the vehicle or combination of vehicles shall be subject to a civil penalty of two hundred dollars ($200.00).
