Question 1342 in the bank

Define “commercial vehicle”:

  1. Correct answer: A motor vehicle used or designed to carry goods.
  2. A motor commercial vehicle designed to transport people or carry goods for hire, provided that it is indicated in its registration document.
  3. A motor vehicle used or designed to carry passengers and goods.
  4. A motor vehicle used or designed to carry goods, and weighing over 8,000 kg only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: A motor vehicle used or designed to carry goods.

A commercial vehicle is defined by its purpose: a motor vehicle that is used to carry goods, or that was designed for this from the start, even if it is not carrying anything at the moment. The definition does not depend on a particular weight, on carrying for hire, or on a special entry in the registration document. The option of carrying passengers and goods adds a condition that is not in the definition.
