(b) Passenger vehicles which are not used for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation, or profit and housecars are not commercial vehicles.

The way I am reading this says we don’t have to stop. Unaverz is a mobile art piece that is highway ready. But we are not commercial, we don’t hire drivers and we do not primarily haul property – and certainly not for profit.
We do, however, have a “15” commercial sticker on the side of the cab. I think this simply means we can transport up to 15 thousand pounds. I don’t think it mean we are commercial by definition.
I would love to know if my interpretation is correct
