The following link is an assemblage of California codes and code subsections.
It was compiled by the Caltrans District 6

and emphasis underlining) was obtained from either the “www.leginfo.ca.gov” (Official
California Legislative Information) or the “www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/vc/vc.htm”
(California Vehicle Code) websites and is therefore deemed reliable.
However - many sections and sub-sections presented herein have been shortened for
brevity. As such, readers should consult the above-mentioned websites to view
the complete wording of any
section(s) or subsection(s) presented herein or contact the desired agency to obtain
a hard copy of their entire Code. (The preceding disclaimer is part of the document.)
The document is a 42-page, 209-KB document in PDF format, which requires the free Adobe
