    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    No Problem with that. Best place to start would be with your local MV club. Then get them to write a letter to the local state representative. Follow it up with a request for a meeting. Invite him/her to speak at one of your events. The thing to emphasize here is that people don't own an M35...

    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    I will tell you what I will do. If I EVER get cited myself for driving my M35 without a CDL, I will fight that,and in turn will prepare a legal memo. I will also appeal the case if I lose. I will certainly share all of that with you all.

    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    Come one man--what law is not ambiguous? This is what they tell you on the first day of law school. This is why we have lawyers and judges. Don't you get that much? You are starting to sound like some belligerent ass though. I never said I was never wrong, but I do have 3 years of law school...

    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    "This states that a vehicle is considered a "commercial vehicle" under CA law if it is used for commercial purposes or if it is designed primarily to haul cargo. Even a personally-owned, not-used-for-hire pickup truck is considered a commercial vehicle by the state of California." This is just...

    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    God, you are wearing me out. You are lucky you are not paying some lawyer for this advice. Think, intent, purpose and Commercial, COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL! Look at the "and" between the definition of a commercial vehicle and the characteristics of a vehicle. Think commercial purposes. That is the...

    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    You are just wrong. Did you really look at case law, case cites, the definitions section of the Veh Code and the legislative (intent) notes? You don't need to go that far down the statute as you are not using the vehicle for commercial purposes. Its that simple. The legislators expressly...

    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    Quit trying to scare everybody! As I wrote before, I am a lawyer in CA with 9 years experience. I did my own research on this issue, and you do not need a CDL! You can go ask all the police and other law enforcement personnel what they think the law is, and if they tell you a CDL of any...
