Question 1349 in the bank

What is a “commercial vehicle”:

  1. Any vehicle that carries passengers or any type of freight.
  2. A vehicle used alternatively for carrying freights and for transporting passengers for hire.
  3. Correct answer: A vehicle used or designed to carry freight for hire or to serve for the purpose of the vehicle owner’s occupation.
  4. Any freight transporting vehicle.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: A vehicle used or designed to carry freight for hire or to serve for the purpose of the vehicle owner’s occupation.

A commercial vehicle is defined by what it is used or designed for: carrying freight for hire or serving the owner's occupation, such as a plumber's van or a moving company's truck. Simply carrying some freight or passengers does not make a vehicle commercial. Transporting passengers for hire belongs to a different category, such as public vehicles.
