In clause (1), the words "the mileage the vehicle was driven, as
registered by the odometer within the designed tolerance of the
manufacturer of the odometer" are substituted for "the true mileage
driven. For purposes of this section, the true mileage driven is
that mileage driven by the vehicle as registered by the odometer
within the manufacturer's designed tolerance" to eliminate
unnecessary words.
In clause (3), the words "public" and "road" are added for
consistency in this subtitle.
