§ 2500 License Application Scope

This law says that all the rules in this chapter apply to every license given out by the California Highway Patrol, unless a specific rule says something different.

Key Takeaways

  • •All licenses from the California Highway Patrol follow the rules in this chapter.
  • •If a specific rule for your license says something different, follow that rule instead.
  • •This is just a general rule to make sure everyone knows the basics apply to them.

Example

If you get a special license to drive a big truck, all the normal driving rules still apply to you.

Even though you have a special license, you still have to follow the same basic rules as everyone else, unless your special license says you don’t have to.
