This section of the Michigan Vehicle Code defines key terms used in traffic laws, including 'resident,' 'revocation,' 'right-of-way,' 'road tractor,' and 'roadway.' These definitions clarify legal language related to licensing, driving privileges, and highway use. Understanding these terms is essential for compliance with Michigan traffic laws and regulations.
A 'resident' is someone who lives in Michigan and is legally present in the United States. This definition applies only to Michigan's vehicle laws.
You must wait at least 1 year after revocation, or 5 years if there was a subsequent revocation within 7 years, before applying for a new license.
'Right-of-way' refers to the immediate privilege to use the highway, meaning the right to proceed before other vehicles under certain conditions.
A 'road tractor' is a motor vehicle designed to pull other vehicles and not intended to carry a load itself or part of the load.
