What the frick is he talking about? Since when is 'driving' deemed a legal/technical term?

He's not engaged in commercial activity, bro. Come on!

They all live in LaLa Land and have no grasp of reality. They routinely make up words and legal arguments in traffic stops. Its bizarre.

I got into a "sovereign citizen" kick in college and tried to watch and learn as much as I could on the internet. It truly is bizarre and they are prone to violence.

7 mins into that video I would have been ok with the cop shooting that guy.

I almost want to riot because he didn't.

I'm no big city lawyer, but I do declare that this young man was if fact NOT driving.

CASE DUSMUSSED!

TRAVEL

The term "travel" is a significant term and is defined as:
"The term `travel' and `traveler' are usually construed in their broad and general sense ... so as to include all those who rightfully use the highways viatically (when being reimbursed for expenses) and who have occasion to pass over them for the purpose of business, convenience, or pleasure."
25 Am.Jur. (1st) Highways, Sect.427, Pg. 717

"Traveler -- One who passes from place to place, whether for pleasure, instruction, business, or health."
Locket vs. State, 47 Ala. 45;
Bovier's Law Dictionary, 1914 ed., Pg. 3309

"Travel -- To journey or to pass through or over; as a country district, road, etc. To go from one place to another, whether on foot, or horseback, or in any conveyance as a train, an automobile, carriage, ship, or aircraft; Make a journey."
Century Dictionary, Pg. 2034

Therefore, the term "travel" or "traveler" refers to one who uses a conveyance to go from one place to another, and included all those who use the highways as a matter of Right.

Notice that in all these definitions, the phrase "for hire" never occurs. This term "travel" or "traveler" implies, by definition, one who uses the road as a means to move from one place to another.

Therefore, one who uses the road in the ordinary course of life and business for the purpose of travel and transportation is a traveler.

DRIVER

The term "driver" in contradistinction to "traveler," is defined as:

"Driver -- One employed in conducting a coach, carriage, wagon, or other vehicle ..."
Bovier's Law Dictionary, 1914 ed., Pg. 940

Notice that this definition includes one who is "employed" in conducting a vehicle. It should be self-evident that this individual could not be "travelling" on a journey, but is using the road as a place of business.

Legal definition of 'traveling' vs. 'driving'

Still, the guy was arguing over semantics.

So does he have a "travelers" license?

I'd have been happy with just breaking his window and yanking him out of the car by his ear.

Imagine getting in a traffic accident with this guy...

That Sonic ad is the biggest argument for gay marriage. Please, get married if it will make you two shut up.

Law dictionaries do not hold the force of law.
