282. Commercial vehicle
A commercial vehicle is a motor vehicle used primarily for business purposes, such as transporting goods, equipment or passengers for professional or commercial activities. Commercial vehicles can include vans, trucks, buses, coaches and other specialised vehicles.
The rules applying to a commercial vehicle depend on its vehicle category, weight, dimensions, number of passengers and type of use. Driving-licence, road-access, inspection, taxation and operating requirements can therefore differ considerably between vehicles.
