California Vehicle Code Statutory History
California Vehicle Code Statutory History
Vehicle Code: The 1959 Vehicle Code in effect is derived from the 1935 Vehicle Code, which it superseded. In turn, the 1935 Vehicle Code consolidated and revised the numerous acts and former statutes relating to vehicles and vehicular traffic, which dated back at least to 1913, when an “act to regulate the use and operation of vehicles upon the public highways and elsewhere” was passed. The 1959 Vehicle Code addresses, to name a few, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the California Highway Patrol, drivers’ and occupational licenses, registration, certificates of title, rules of the road, equipment of vehicles, and driving while under the influence.
