A motor vehicle is a machine, usually with wheels, used for transportation on land, usually on roads.
Some common examples:
- a motorized bicycle
- a motorcycle
- an automobile
- a truck
- a bus
In most jurisdictions use of different classes of vehicle is governed by a traffic code which determines amongst other things:
- who can drive (typically adults who hold a valid driving licence for the class of vehicle)
- in what circumstances one can drive (e.g., in possession of insurance, not drunk, etc.)
- where a vehicle can and cannot be driven
- speed limits
- right-of-way
- requirement to use specified equipment (motorcycle helmet, safety belt, etc.)
- requirements for vehicles to meet standards of safety, to display a license plate, etc.
