Georgia codes admit commercial nature of driving.
Im still researching the motor vehicle code in georgia. PLEASE DONT SLEEP ON THIS ONE.interesting twists and turns in the code to deliberately lie and throw you off track. it starts here when they admit the motor vehicle code is commercial in nature by calling the code the "uniform commercial drivers license act:
40-5-21.
(a) Except as provided in Article 7 of this chapter, the 'Uniform Commercial Driveŕs License Act,' the following persons are exempt from licenses under this chapter: (they list exempted people like people who have a valid foreign license, etc.)
Ok, when we go to chapter article 7 of this chapter this is what we find:
40-5-7.
Reserved.
Ok, article 7 is reserved? so, we know that when they talk about article 7 of THIS chapter,they are talking about chapter 5 of title 40. you guys following me so far? they plainly say that chapter 5 is the uniform commercial drivers license act. then, here is where the trick comes in. They list the classes of licenses in chapter 5, which include class c which all passenger vehicle drivers have in georgia, but the trick is, since they had to include class a and b in this section, they lie and call all theses classes noncommercial to throw you off. but remember, above in 40-5-21 they say this is the uniform COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE ACT(chapter 5). everybody in georgia knows that class a and b licenses are called cdl licenses (commercial drivers license). this is admitted over at the georgia motor vehicle website. NOTICE THAT ANY VEHICLE OVER 26,000 POUNDS IS A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE, and then go down and read 40-5-23 below this snippet and they try to trick you and call a 26,000 pound vehicle a non commercial drivers license. WHO HAS A 26,000 POUND NON COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE?
from the georgia motor vehicle website:
