This section of the Michigan Vehicle Code defines key terms related to school crossing guards, scrap certificates of title, and scrap vehicles. It specifies who qualifies as a school crossing guard, what constitutes a scrap certificate of title, and the criteria for a vehicle to be classified as a scrap vehicle, including damage thresholds and valuation methods.
A school crossing guard is a person 17 years or older authorized to supervise children at a school crossing.
A vehicle is considered a scrap vehicle if it is wrecked, damaged, or missing major parts, with repair costs exceeding 91% of its value, or if it has a scrap title.
Only a scrap metal processor, automotive recycler, used parts dealer, or foreign salvage vehicle dealer can hold a scrap certificate of title.
The value is based on the retail cost of original parts, local market evaluations, or independent vehicle appraisals, considering damage and repair costs.
