What Vehicles Are Referred to as Motor Vehicles?
2 Answers
Motor vehicles are wheeled vehicles driven or towed by power devices, used for passenger transport, goods transportation, or specialized operations on roads. They include automobiles and automobile trains, motorcycles and mopeds, tractor transport units, wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles, and trailers, but exclude any vehicles operating on tracks. Below is relevant information about motor vehicle driving: 1. Before driving a motor vehicle on the road, the driver should carefully inspect the vehicle's safety technical performance and must not operate a motor vehicle with incomplete safety facilities or components that do not meet technical standards, posing safety hazards. 2. Motor vehicle drivers must comply with the provisions of road traffic safety laws and regulations, driving safely and courteously according to operational norms. Driving under the influence of alcohol, taking nationally controlled psychotropic or narcotic drugs, suffering from a disease that hinders safe driving, or being excessively fatigued to the point of affecting safe driving is prohibited.
The most common vehicles we see on the road are basically motor vehicles. Having driven for over 20 years, let me share some insights with you. Cars, SUVs, trucks—anything with four wheels—goes without saying, whether they run on gasoline or diesel. Some people easily overlook two-wheeled motorcycles; those scooters with an engine displacement over 50cc also count as motor vehicles and require yellow license plates to operate on the road. Even those delivery tricycles with blue cargo boxes running around the streets fall under the motor vehicle category. The key factor is whether the vehicle can move under its own power—whether it's fuel-powered or electric. Nowadays, new energy electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids on the road still need to be registered and inspected at the DMV, and they all belong to motor vehicles.
