- Any motor vehicle, regardless of its weight, except for a bus.

Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Any motor vehicle with an all up weight of more than 5,000kg, except for a bus.
Safety blocks are required in every motor vehicle with an all up weight of more than 5,000 kg, except a bus. A heavy vehicle can roll away when stopped on a slope, during a breakdown or while changing a wheel, so the blocks are placed under the wheels to hold it in place. The duty does not cover light vehicles or every vehicle regardless of weight.
