California Vehicle Code information


The California Vehicle Code, informally referred to as the Veh. Code or the CVC, is the section of the California Codes which contains almost all statutes relating to the operation, ownership and registration of vehicles (including bicycles[1] and even animals when riding on a public roadway[2]) in the state of California in the United States. The Vehicle Code's "Rules of the Road" generally apply to operating vehicles, bicycles, and animals on a public roadway, except for provisions which by their very nature can have no application. The Vehicle Code also contains statutes concerning the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the California Highway Patrol.[3]

The Vehicle Code includes various topics from defining the size of license plates to criminal law sections relating to the theft and misuse of motor vehicles.[4] The Vehicle Code is one of 29 codes[5] containing general statutes adopted by the California legislature and that have either been signed into law by the governor or that have become law without the governor's signature.
