Law Dictionary: What is TRANSPORTATION? definition of TRANSPORTATION (Black's Law Dictionary)
What is a carrier?
carrier
n. in general, any person or business which transports property or people by any means of conveyance (truck, auto, taxi, bus, airplane, railroad, ship), almost always for a charge. The carrier is the transportation system and not the owner or operator of the system. There are two types of carriers: common carrier (in the regular business or a public utility of transportation) and a private carrier (a party not in the business, but agrees to make a delivery or carry a passenger in a specific instance). Regular transportation systems are regulated by states and by the Interstate Commerce Commission if they cross state lines. (See: common carrier, private carrier)
Are you a carrier?
Are you involved in transportation?
If not, why are you reading and/or following the Texas "Transportation Code"?
You don't belong there.
Before appearing in Court, I suggest that you file a motion to dismiss on the grounds that your motorized bike is not involved in transportation.
I am giving my logical conclusions and NOT legal advice.
Consult an attorney if you do not wish to proceed on your own.
What say you?
