§ 1 Vehicle Code Title

This law names the rules about cars and driving as the 'Vehicle Code'.

Key Takeaways

  • •This law just gives a name to all the car and driving rules.
  • •When you see 'Vehicle Code', it means the rules about cars and driving.
  • •It doesn’t tell you what to do or not do, just what to call the rules.

Example

You see a sign that says 'Vehicle Code § 1234' on the side of the road.

This means the rule on that sign is part of the Vehicle Code, which is just the name for all the driving and car rules.
