§ 400-a. Exceptions to registration provisions. Notwithstanding any

inconsistent provision of this chapter or other law or regulation, the

commissioner may refuse to register any vehicle or class of vehicles for

use on the public highways where he determines that the characteristics

of such vehicle or class of vehicles make such vehicle or vehicles

unsafe for highway operation. Provided, however, that such authority

shall not extend to any vehicle which is eligible for registration as a

special purpose commercial vehicle under the provisions of schedule F of

subdivision seven of section four hundred one of this chapter.
