Includes every person who drives or is in physical control
of a vehicle.
Includes any chemical compound or mechanical mixture that
is commonly used or intended for the purpose of producing an explosion
which contains any oxidizing or combustive units or other ingredients
in such proportions, quantities or packing that an ignition by fire,

sale or lease thereof with the right of purchase upon performance
of the conditions stated in the agreement and with an immediate right
of possession vested in the conditional vendee or lessee, or in the
event a mortgagor of a vehicle is entitled to possession, then such
conditional vendee or lessee or mortgagor shall be deemed the owner
for the purpose of this article.

for vehicular travel or vehicular parking by the owner or those having
expressed or implied permission from the owner, or other places or
surfaces not being a street or highway which are used for vehicular
