§ 12203 Definition Scope And Application

• •Definitions in this part of the law apply to the whole part.
• •If something else says different, then that definition might not apply.
• •This helps make sure everyone understands what the words mean.

If a word like 'vehicle' is defined in this part of the law, that definition is used everywhere in this part.

For example, if the law says a 'vehicle' means a car or truck, then every time you see 'vehicle' in this part, it means a car or truck.
