Want to know what it takes to be an auto dealer in Michigan or what the penalty is for leaving the scene of an accident? How about what "manufacturer’s vehicle" means? It’s all there in black and white in the Michigan Vehicle Code, 293 pages of edge-to-edge type with no pictures, no drawings, and no plot.

But the vehicle code―first passed in 1949―is essential reading if you’re a wannabe car dealer, involved in law enforcement, or want to just get a clearer picture of why you were stopped for "following too closely."

The MVC is a living document that's altered slightly on a near-constant basis. Each legislative session sees a repeal or amendment to one section or another. That’s because as Michigan’s society changes, its laws need to keep pace. For instance, new technologies can make old laws obsolete.
