Property is cargo.

We are persons if there is an applicable situation, "human beings subject to a special criteria".

The "may" part is important and ought not to be ignored, because some VC definitions (like Calif) only use "may". At this point things are way past actual commercial transportation, "is transported" covers for-hire situations. And these actually have their own separate license and regs.

Most of the rest of the time we are in "may": ie "allowed to be treated as though it were"", by implied consent through registration.

Further along these lines here is another reduction, from the legal definition:

Quote:
means by which ... may be transported


is another way of saying "carry", like the older statutes did, and which are still in the current intl convention.

So back to "class B motor vehicular travel", there is:

Quote:
travel in an automobile that may carry any person upon a way...open to...public...use...

Want to stay out of the REALM? Drive an automobile without carrying any subject persons or properties.

Interestingly enough, even heavy trucks and buses are excluded from "vehicular travel" if in mere transit. "recreational vehicles" dont need a CDL either.

I have no idea why the system cant directly regulate private enjoyment on the grounds of public safety but it apparently doesn't. hmmm....
